During the height of the growing season I focus my efforts on plant identification for members of the RHS, with an average of 4,500 enquiries per year. This comes with an extensive knowledge of wild and cultivated plants that I acquired through my work as a horticulturist.
In the winter, I deliver training for students and take part in research on ecosystem services of cultivated plants. This is a dynamic field that allows us to promote the beneficial use of plants for the current and upcoming challenges society faces
– such as mental wellbeing, water usage and mitigating our impacts on climate change.
