I have 35 years' experience, planting and maintaining wildlife gardens, water features, and wildlife ponds, private and commercial, in and around Hampstead, Highgate, and Hampstead Garden Suburb.

During this time, I have also pursued my interest in wild plants and animals all over the world, and have travelled every continent except Antarctica, and brought this experience to bear within the London area. There is an obvious connection between wildlife and horticulture and I have been able to bring those worlds fully together.

l am a council member of the London Natural History Society, a member of 5 county Wildlife Trusts, the British Naturalists Association, the Conchological Society of Great Britain and Ireland, the Hampstead Heath Survey, the British Arachnological Society, the Dipterists Forum Th Royal Entomological Society and the British Earthworm Society, and I spend my time networking with members of all these organisations, getting the most up-to-date information, and passing on wildlife advice to the landscape industry.

I am also a National Committee member of the Association of Professional Landscapers, and I am Chair of the North Thames Region of the British Association of Landscape Industries, and a member of Horticultural Trades Association.

Nobody in the UK is so thoroughly interconnected between the worlds of wildlife and the commercial landscape industry.

It is my life's work to bring the art and industry of landscape together with the art and science of wildlife conservation.
