Steve Ashworth, Director at Wyevale Nurseries in Hereford, explained: “We would like to say a huge congratulations to Joshua on winning this prestigious award. We designed it to encourage a student towards a career in nursery stock production by assisting with a practical placement at a nursery in the Netherlands.
“Joshua was chosen as the winner due to his spirit of adventure, his application to study and participate in extra-curricular activities at college, and his belief that we all have to step outside our comfort zones to gain anything. As an aspiring landscape architect, Josh hopes to progress on to the Landscape Design degree course at the University of Gloucester.
“The Peter Williamson Travel Award was started in memory of Wyevale Nurseries former owner and chairman, Peter Williamson, who passed away in 2011.
“As this will be different from what I’ve done before, I’m sure the skills I learn from this placement will have a lasting impact on my career. I hope to be a good representative for Wyevale Nurseries and to create a good business connection between the two nurseries.”
