THIS colourful picture, taken by schoolboy in North Yorkshire, has scooped top honours in a major photography competition.
The Royal Horticultural Society’s annual photographic competition saw a surge in entries this year.
The prize for overall young winner was awarded to Jack Sedgwick, who entered in the under-11s category with a combination of three photographs taken on a rainy summer day at RHS Garden Harlow Carr in Harrogate.
The RHS said there was a record number of entries following a growing appreciation of nature and gardens during lockdown, with winners drawn from thousands of entries from around the world.
The horticultural charity hopes this year’s winning images will inspire people to get out and enjoy a dose of “vitamin G” as part of National Gardening Week in the UK next week.
Chris Young, chair of judging for the RHS Photographic Competition, said: “The winning children’s image shows great graphic intent and a keen eye for detail – something to be richly applauded for our junior category."
