"Hi Andrew
A simple approach would be to find the right domestic properties where you can job share and invoice the customer separately .
You are probably looking at the larger gated properties where you can multi task but allocate your individual…"

Hi Andrew, the information for Ilex was gathered over a 2 year period. I have a degree in Horticulture and have 10 years experience in Nursery Plant Production with Hilliers and my family business. I have worked for Andy Sturgeon for 2 years, and am now studying for a MA in Landscape Architecture. A fair amount of the information came from RHS books, Hillier Manual, Notcutts Manual, individual Nursery information, like Van den Berk on Trees, which is excellent. I am adding to the resource gradually, with plant associations, Plant Schedules, and downloadable Plant Maintenance regimes, all of which will come soon hopefully.
Many thanks,
Nick
Congratulations on Ilex I have just viewed for the first time. I guess I am lagging behind the times having relied on encyclopedic plant knowledge built up over 35 years for my work. I am intrigued as to how you obtain the text for each plant and how the profile is built up, is there a resource for this or have you used your encyclopedic knowledge for this?
Thanks for joining us :) I hope that you find the experience a good one. This is a great network of professional and amateur gardeners to share and learn with.
