I run The Kew Gardener, a business selling plants and offering horticultural services. I have been mad on plants since winning a sunflower competition when I was 5 years old. I studied at The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and have worked on conservation projects in Mauritius and South Africa. I now run The Kew Gardener and enjoy meeting plant mad people from all around the world!
