'My Nan Inspired Me To Become A Gardener'

The first plant I ever grew 

My first plant was a fuchsia. I loved growing them in all their various forms and learned how to take cuttings while at horticultural college.

The plant that shaped the gardener I am today 

It has to be Mexican feather grass, Stipa tenuissima. I adore adding grasses and sedges to my gardens and designs as they just add so much to a border, whether it be tall ones like miscanthus or small, evergreen carex. I find they work well in every design.
