I feel very fortunate to be working in a career that I thoroughly enjoy and am really passionate about.

Upon leaving school I went to work for an Independent family run garden centre for three years where I gained experience in all areas of the gardening industry. Building on my plant knowledge and also completing an NVQ in retail management. However I knew that the retail side of the horticultural industry was not somewhere I wanted to stay so I then went on to work for a landscape garden company over the next two years before setting up my own business in 2003. Since then I have continued to learn and develop, working with many other professionals in horticulture including garden designers and landscapers. I have attended many courses and seminars. I continue to follow current trends and I like to visit gardens and flower shows.

I spend a lot of time flower arranging using material from my own working cut flower garden.

I also have a particular interest in creating mazes, knot gardens and labyrinths.
