Biography

I am a speaker for Gardening Clubs. Please note that my fee is now £120 plus travel. (GMG haven't updated the information yet). I have over 10 years of experience as a popular speaker to Gardening Clubs in Northamptonshire and Leicestershire without any promotion on my part; my reputation as an entertaining and engaging speaker meant that word-of-mouth from one Club to another was sufficient. I have tended a large allotment for over 30 years. My specialities are no-dig gardening, pumpkins and squashes and soil improvement. I have now retired from teaching Biology for 39 years, so have a wealth of experience in engaging an audience. My degree is in Crop Science. Invited to be on the panel of experts on BBC Radio 4's Money Box Live programme 4th May 2022 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0016xr9
