A 11-YEAR-OLD boy has shown he is a real ground force.
Nature-lover Jack Cousins is proving himself to be a handy landscape gardener having just designed his own pond.
The pupil at Holy Trinity Primary School, in Eight Ash Green, built the stylish garden nature pond after carrying out all the design and construction himself.
Dad Chris, who dug the hole under his son’s direction, was astonished by the results.
While others dream of success in showbiz or on the sports field, he said his down-to-earth boy was happiest getting his hands dirty.
Mr Cousins, of Fairfield Cottages, Fordham, said: “He builds bird boxes, hedgehog boxes and all sorts of features for the garden.”
