| Occupation | Horticultural Photojournalist |
| Location | I garden at the foothills of the Macedon Ranges, Victoria, Australia |
| Introduction | I qualified at Burnley Horticultural College in the early 1980's. Horticulture has been in the family for over a century so it was obviously predestined! I have gardened here for over 19 years. Initially it was really wet, then we had over a decade of drought and now the drought has broken. I've had some terrific highs and just as many lows, but the journey has always been challenging - you never know just what is around the next corner. |
| Interests | Besides gardening? Weeeellll there is camping, cycling and travelling. Current obsession is genealogy. |
| Favorite movies | The Secret Garden (of course!) |
| Favorite music | Anything from the 70's and 80's (whoa that dates me!) but my girls have opened my ears to Cold Play and Snow Patrol. |
| Favorite books | Anything by Michael Pollan, Tim Flannery, Christopher Lloyd or Jared Diamond (doesn't that sound high falutin'!) |
You've just inherited a manufacturing plant that specializes in plastics. What are you going to make?
A plastic that is fully biodegradable of course!
