About Me.
I have over 20 years of experience in the Horticulture industry and my main focus is gardening and managing gardens. I am passionate about gardens and the welfare of plants within them. I like to be creative with my designing of gardens and strongly believe that it is important to position plants
Within their correct habitat and manipulate plants to the best of their ability.
Horticulture is not just a career for me it is also a lifestyle which I enjoy immensely. I am always looking to develop my skills within the industry and strive to achieve the best I can be.
