These ambassadors will play a key role at Dobbies’ monthly free Little Seedlings Club workshops at the Moreton Park store, near Chirk, which seek to encourage children enjoy to the wonders of nature.
The successful ambassadors will become the faces of Dobbies’ monthly workshops, write blogs for the website, and feature in news articles and photographs. Apply here.
Emma Tailford, Dobbies’ Horti Manager, would encourage budding young gardeners to apply.
She said: “We love welcoming our young customers to the Little Seedlings Club workshops every month at our Moreton Park store and take joy in inspiring the next generation.
"We had a fantastic response to our ambassador search last year, and it’s been rewarding to see the children thrive on their personal gardening journey.”
The next free Little Seedlings Club workshop in Dobbies’ Moreton Park store takes place during National Children’s Gardening Week on Sunday, June 2.

The session will focus on growing your own herbs, encouraging children of all gardening abilities to get stuck in and learn the joys of growing your own produce.
From planting and cooking, to learning the difference between herbs and spices and all their amazing smells, this interactive workshop is designed to teach budding gardeners not just how to grow and nurture herbs, but also their medicinal qualities and how to infuse them into culinary creations.
The theme for June’s workshop in Moreton Park was selected by current ambassadors Ayla Tuffaha (8) and Sophia Tuffaha (6) from Woodbridge because they are always excited to try new foods and experiment with flavours.
