A GREEN-FINGERED youngster is standing tall after success in a competition.

Aaron, who has his own garden plot at his grandfather’s house in Tilston, grew a towering flower which measured eight feet, two inches.

Aaron is a pupil at Malpas Alport Endowed Primary School.

Second place in the competition went to Michael Duffy, with third Nick Duffy and fourth Ben Williams. Well done certificates were awarded to Alex Foden, Ben Bickley, Tallen Roberts and Joe Roberts.
