A life long interest and wonder in the natural world has lead me to a career in horticulture since 2007. During this time I've had the pleasure of working with/in a myriad of inspiring and influential people/places.
I grew up in Devon and trained at Bristol College and Botanic Garden before embarking on a professional career. My roles have included head gardener for private estates and gardens, where I implemented projects by leading designers, planting/garden design. I’ve also taught horticulture and worked in organic market gardening and community-focused projects.
This varied and rich experience has given me an invaluable hands-on experience and a deep understanding of how plants grow, behave, thrive, fail and tolerate. Joyfully, they still continue to surprise.
I study and learn whenever possible to expand my knowledge — more recently at West Dean College and continue to at The Apricot Centre, and the inimitable Serge Hill Plant Library.
