About you and your business ( please complete)
Started working at a garden centre while studying for a PhD in Sociology. Funding dropped out of the PhD, I ended up as the plant buyer and a couple of years down the line I decided to set up my own business. I specialise in border renovation and maintenance and with the background as a plant buyer I am more of a plantsman than a landscaper. I firmly beleive that almost all gardens can benefit from soil improvement every spring. I feel like I'm a fraud as almost all of my work in getting borders to look fantastic is in preparing the soil in Spring. Nature tends to do the rest... I love the nursery aspect of gardening - dividing, replanting, tidying plants up & pruning and generally looking after plants. It's not so much the specific act of looking after the plants as much as seeing the end result, which I know is partly due to my management. Gardening is, after all, all about the plants (although Diarmuid Gavin and his followers may disagree...). I think it's knowledge of the plantcare aspect that seems to give you guru status, even when you can only expect to know how to look after a tiny proportion of the enormous world of flora. *Note* I no longer run the business and am concentrating on different things. I continue to work on my own garden and blog / write on wordpress (http://www.mrandyfereday.wordpress.com)

I've been meaning to get in touch since you left the message on Facebook. How's it all going...I see you've changed addresses so the move is done eh?
All the best to both of you.

Many thanks for this offer!
I've still got a way to go yet & realistically won't be able to enter next year, more like 2011 but I'm sure I could do with some help.
Cheers & have a good weekend

I am pleased that you are still around - especially as you were practically a founder member:-0))
All the best
Phil
I'm planning a new veg bed and want to employ crop rotation and couldn't work out where Celery fits into the scheme of things.
Chers,
Roger
