2026-11-02 19:30 - 22:00
Andrew started his Horticulture career in 1983 becoming a Parks Department Trainee Garden in Swindon doing City & Guilds Ornamental Horticulture at Lackham College. He then took a job as Greenkeeper with Swindon Parks at Broome Manor Golf course where he stayed for 16 years up to Deputy Head.
He now works in several large private gardens and estates mainly in South Glos and North Wiltshire my work is very varied from garden consultation, garden restoration, design & build, specialist renovation pruning, general pruning including a lot of trained fruit, topiary & ornamental hedges.
My main personal plant passions are Snowdrops, Ferns, Shade & Woodland plants, alpines, dahlias, other tropical style plants and many more besides.”
I then wanted to return to working with plants and work in the private sector for my first time. I worked at Several large private estates and gardens for 13 years before going Self employed in 2013 which I have continued doing so until this day.
I now work for a variety of country houses & estates mainly in South Glos & North Wiltshire with a few further field and my work is very varied from garden consultation, garden restoration, design & build, specialist renovation pruning, general pruning including a lot of trained fruit, topiary & ornamental hedges.
My main personal plant passions are Snowdrops, Ferns, Shade & Woodland plants, alpines, dahlias, other tropical style plants and many more besides.”
Please note: Although Andrew worked at Highgrove many years ago, this talk and Q&A will not cover anything to do with his time there.
