“I’ve grown plants and gardened all my life, and have been lucky enough to train and work in horticulture – a subject that I’m passionate about.
And I want to share that passion for plants and gardening with you”
I’m taking part in The Trek for Action Medical Research, walking a gruelling 40 miles along the South Downs Way for charity in July. The pictures here show when I completed the walk in 2016 with my friend Sarah Cuttle, but I need your support and encouragement this year to help me beat our previous time of 15 hours and 3 minutes! Thanks for taking time to read this and I really hope you can help.
