My approach is based on a deep respect for the land and all the blessings it provides. Each seed we plant represents a commitment to the future. I take great care of every plot or pot using sustainable practices, nurturing biodiversity, enriching the soil, and doing my bit to enhance the overall well-being of our local environment.

I see each and every one of us who grows mindfully as cultivators and stewards, responsible for nurturing our flowers for the greater good. By fully embracing this responsibility, we can create a thriving environment and establish a legacy of thoughtful and sustainable growth.

For generations, my family and I have cultivated flowers in small batches from home gardens and allotments. We also manage a larger plot in the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside at Hill Farm, a National Trust estate in Ashridge. The plot here is a work in progress; every season gets better, and something beautiful always pops up out of the ground.

I have been invited to show at the lovely Strawberry Hill Flower Festival for two years, showcasing my growing principles in all its splendour. I also take enormous pride in being a member of the Sunnyside Allotment Society and recently had the opportunity to showcase our work at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival.
