Nick is still at Pod and as helpful and friendly as ever! When i first started gardening for a living i was working for Timotay Landscapes, who were the company that Pod used when customers requested a design or build. Does Anna remember them?
I did a RHS general cert at Moulton while i was with Timotay, which was about 2000. And went back to Moulton & started the design foundation degree, P/T in 2006. But I only did the first term and a bit after Christmas....... really struggled with the quantity of work and got very behind! But really enjoyed what i had done on the course.
How did Anna find the course? I did find if difficult to stay awake and concentrate in a warm lab after
lunch!!
I have only just done my first full design, with 2 builder friends, who do the hard stuff-they prefer landscaping to general building and have been doing it for years.
We work really well together, as the 3 of us can cover the skills needed and are working on another design.
So have just taken the exciting step of having a website done, and van signs made!!
I do maintenance and planting too. So just hoping to build up design side more.
While i was studying at Moulton I did a design with my best friend for her dad in Olney. She teaches

Hi Keith Thanks for message - so you know Clapham .............. I moved here 10 years ago when I returned from the Algarve having lived there for 13 years . I know you think I was mad but had to when my marriage went pear shaped .... needed to get kids into schools so stayed with my sister in Oakley till found place in Clapham . Been here ever since - kids have done well - one at uni other in 6th form and leaves in Summer. Started business 9 years ago and still going strong tho like everyone else been tougher last year with not so many new enquiries . Still I have a hard core of regulars ( just as well ) which are my bread & butter - some I've kept since starting out ! Anyway I have enough work now as being semi retired am being more selective - hard as I am another who finds it hard to say *No*
Anyway hope all is going well with you and you have a good season
Cheers
