went to askham bryan after a levels for two years of an hnd in hort with a specialisation in arb, left there to go do an nc in arb at houghall college in durham then worked at a posh hotel in the grounds and as general dogsbody for the next two and half years before spending six months in essex in 2002 as a junior gardener on an estate, six months on the dole so i decided to set up my own business so been going six years now doing gardening and tree work. Always loved trees and the outdoors though due to all the men on my mums side of the family being gardeners or woodsmen of some description going back to the 1800's.
