Originally from Cornwall, I grew up as the daughter of a nurseryman. My playground was the garden centre and my classroom the potting shed, where I developed my love and knowledge of plants. Having set out in life as a primary school teacher, I re-trained in Horticulture and Garden Design 2003-2008, before establishing Melgardens in East Sheen. I have a great team of people here who work with me.
