About me

Occupation Plant hunter
Location Bedgebury National Pinetum, Kent, United Kingdom
Introduction Collecting plants from around the world plays a vital part in environmental conservation. An important part of my work involves tracing species back to their origins and bringing back samples with the proper authorisation. I'm the latest in a long line of globe-trotting British plant hunters. My quest for rare and endangered species has taken me to several far-flung locations; including New Zealand, Australia, China, Vietnam, USA, Spain, Sicily, Serbia, Turkey and now Chile.
