Are you green-fingered or do you stay well away from house plants, seeds and gardens? Take this quiz to find out just how your growing skills fare.
How excited do you get about a trip to the garden centre? Do you know how courgettes are grown? How confident would you feel about growing a plant from a seed?
It comes after a study of 2,000 adults found Brits get the bug for gardening at just 26.
Despite the pastime having an ‘older’ stereotype, young adults are gaining a new-found love for it, with 56 per cent putting this down to its mental health benefits.
Others enjoy gardening because plants can brighten up a home or a garden (63 per cent) or find it therapeutic to watch something grow.
And 66 per cent want to do more fruit and vegetable growing from seeds and plants to keep themselves fed.
