I am a garden designer, editor of the Saxifrage Magazine (Saxifrage Society) and I write for various other gardening magazines. I also offer horticultural consultancy and have been giving talks to gardening groups and conferences for the past 5 years.
After gaining a BSc and MSc in Horticulture I have worked with plants for the past 20 years starting as a technician in the Herbarium of the Botanical Garden in Cluj, Romania, and then creating and managing gardens in Transylvania and subsequently in the UK.

My interest extends to looking for plants in the wild and leading wildlife tours where I share my interest and knowledge of botany.
