Describe your approach to teaching
I truly believe that the best way to learn about plants is to handle them, get some soil under your fingernails, and gain knowledge through doing and enjoying the process.
What inspires your own work?
Living in south Devon I am surrounded by wide cloud filled skies, deep green lanes, iron black rivers, shingle beaches, wildlife and even wilder weather. I find it all inspiring.
