Last updated 4th April 2012 - 20:10

I left school at the age of 17 as I knew from early age all I wanted to be was a gardener/garden designer. Since leaving college I have worked on a number of landscaping projects within both private gardens and public parks. I spend my time volunteering in my local primary school garden, and in my own and relatives' gardens. I grow all the veg for the family and there's usually a bit left over for friends too!
