I have been a professional gardener for over a 30 years. My career started with an apprenticeship in the Central London Royal Parks. This provided training working with the requirements of any given season, maintaining ornate formal gardens and wilder landscapes, propagating, planting, pruning and troubleshooting problems. I had opportunity to work in locations such as St James’ Park, 10 Downing Street and what was then the Royal Parks Nursery in Hyde Park. cI have been a professional gardener for over a 30 years.

My love for gardening started much earlier with my Grandad in his garden, I was captivated by the magic of natures cycles. He taught me about the cycle of composting and how unwanted garden matter can be turned into rich soil that nurtures life. Those moments shaped my passion for gardening and supporting the integrity of the biodiversity that we all depend upon.

After this solid horticultural grounding I also worked with a very experienced Joiner making bespoke furniture, bowed sash windows and their accompanying shutters and shutter boxes. This helped to hone my skills in woodwork and fine finishing now used in decking, fencing, trellising, pergolas, and custom-made woodwork projects.

Driven by a desire to be true to my own principles and make a positive difference I started Garden Robin on my own in 2006. Drawing from my formative years and professional journey I combine organic practices with my knowledge of plant husbandry.

Meeting Kamila, who shares the same ethical values, has been wonderful. Since 2014, we have been working together in a life and business partnership, bringing our combined expertise and passion to every project.

Together, we are committed to creating gardens that thrive for generations to come.
