Carol Klein, Plantswoman, author and TV presenter

“It’s always a pleasure working with David on our practical videos – he’s a great presenter and knows his subject inside out.”

Daniel Hayes, Editor, Gardeners' World Magazine & gardenersworld.com

“We first lectured at Sparsholt College in the late 1980’s – even then David showed a natural ability to communicate, had an infectious enthusiasm and cared greatly about teaching his subject to the next generation of horticulturists and gardeners.”

“David has years of practical experience over a vast range of gardening subjects, an irrepressible passion for plants and a desire to share that knowledge with everyone.”
