Winners of Guildford's Blooming Kids

The winners of Guildford's Blooming Kids category are sister and brother, Isabel and Daniel. They are pupils at Wonersh and Shamley Green School. During lockdown they turned an unused section of their garden into a superb garden oasis, growing all sorts of vegetables and flowers. They win a family ticket to RHS Wisley.
