Horticulture student wins prestigious scholarship

Local College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise horticulture student, David Love-Cameron, has been named the first ever winner of a new scholarship which will see him get the opportunity to work at a restaurant run by one of the UK’s top chefs.

The Newtownabbey man will get the chance to observe and participate in the whole process of designing, building and planning the prestigious new Heritage Garden at Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons Restaurant in Oxford.

The Heritage Garden competition, which was run in conjunction with Le Manoir Restaurant, Garden Organic, Hartley Botanic and the Society of Garden Designers, was conceived to raise awareness of the ongoing work of the national charity Garden Organic in promoting organic gardening methods, preserving heritage gardening knowledge and safeguarding rare varieties that were once the mainstay of British gardens.
