'Grasses Made Me The Gardener I Am Today'
The first plant I ever grew
My first experience was buying bedding pansies from a hardware store. I spent ages deciding on the ‘faces’ I liked best! Gardening was in the family, my grandfather and uncles did it. Wherever you went there were plants, so it was inevitable I was going to do it, too.
The plant that shaped the gardener I am today
Ornamental grasses. I started working in horticulture in Devon with woody plants, but gradually saw it was grasses that were an important part of the landscape and they took me over.
My favourite plant in the world
