A natural world enthusiast and budding designer has pursued his passion by launching his own business making terrariums at just 11 years old.
Olly Champion, from Wymondham, only launched Olly's Terrariums on Facebook a week ago but has already secured two orders and attracted the attention of hundreds of potential customers.
Terrariums are sealed glass containers containing soil and plants - often from tropical regions - which can last for several years if cared for properly, and are popular decorative ornaments.
Olly, a Wymondham High School student, is a keen collector of tropical freshwater fish and has designed the tank environments for his underwater creatures.
His interest in terrariums started last year after watching YouTube videos on how to create them - something which has become more common on the online platform over the past few months.
And after making one out of material from his garden and home, he made two prototypes after getting a terrarium-making kit last Christmas.
Olly said: "After watching YouTube I thought, 'This is cool. I like this.' I like making them from a design aspect. I like plants. They are interesting and there are so many different varieties. They keep us alive. It is important people know other plants are out there. It is joyful to see them come together and nice when people say they want to buy one."
It takes him around 30 minutes to make a terrarium, which cost £25, and wants to put any profit from his sales into making new displays and has grand ambitions to incorporate engravings on plant holders.
His property expert father, Jon Champion, 39, who set up his student accommodation letting business in 2014 with just a laptop, said he was proud his son was giving something a go that he was passionate about.
Olly's mum, Bex Champion, 39, described the young entrepreneur as "inspiring".
