Horticulturist and Expert Gardener - My love of gardening started as a teenager. When I was in my 30's, I completed an Associate Diploma Of Applied Science in Horticulture. At the same time, I tended a lovely large homestead garden and then worked in various commercial nurseries as a propagator.

I love watching the garden change through the seasons and seeing the results of my work.
