Our aim is to provide an open and transparent account of developing our allotment – our quest for veg – and to share useful information with you along the way.
Who we are
Andrew – the plant scientist
Andrew teaches horticulture and plant science to degree level. He specialises in the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) qualifications. He ran a successful garden design and landscaping business for many years until a routine medical investigative procedure caused a spinal injury. He continues to teach on a freelance basis and offers a consultancy service.
Sandra – the beginner gardener
Sandra is a writer, editor and communications professional whose only horticultural training has come from years of watching Gardeners’ World!
We couldn’t have done it without
When we took on our plot it was very overgrown and neglected, as you can see from our very first post: surveying the scene. Thankfully, we have some wonderful friends and colleagues who have helped us to get started. We are very grateful – we couldn’t have done it without you!
Elisa Contreras and Rodney Williams – The Secret Garden
Richard Anderson – Anderson Landscapes
