Education
I am a keen gardener and also passionate about the RHS message: to enrich everyone's life through plants and to make the UK a greener, more beautiful place. I believe that learning about gardening and horticulture will lead to a greater understanding in society of the nature around us together with key environmental messages. As such I am a volunteer on the events team where I can utilise my experience of events organisation and communications skills.
