Dobbies' Cirencester store has kicked off National Children's Gardening Week (27 May - 5 June) with the search to find new Little Seedlings Ambassadors. Across the UK, Dobbies is looking for four new ambassadors and the Cirencester store is encouraging local families to get involved.

The UK's leading garden centre is looking for eager young gardeners to encourage the younger generation to give gardening a go and do their part for the wildlife and environment around them. The ambassadors will be the new faces of Dobbies' free monthly Little Seedlings Club workshops aimed at those aged 4-10 years.

Successful applicants will get involved in the monthly workshops, write blogs for the website and may even feature on the Dobbies' podcast. Entering is easy, with budding gardeners invited to apply via dobbies.com

The Brilliant World of Bugs theme for June's workshop that is set to take place in Dobbies' Cirencester store on Sunday 4 June.

During this free session, Dobbies' horticulture experts will teach children how to identify different bugs, including the Allium Leaf Miner and Box Tree Caterpillar, and where to find them. They will also learn how to care for bugs and take part in a craft session creating a butterfly out of a paper plate.

Chloe Bell, Dobbies' community and CSR communications executive, said: "We can't wait to hear from young gardening enthusiasts in Cirencester. Our Little Seedlings Club is a very popular free session, allowing children to understand, explore, and connect with plants, wildlife, and the environment around them. Ideally, we're looking for young ambassadors who share a passion for these elements and have the confidence to share this enthusiasm with their peers.

"Our June session, during National Children's Gardening Week, is a great opportunity for newbies to come along and see what our Little Seedlings Club is all about. We hope to educate children on the fascinating world of garden bugs."
