Don Witton:

Don was a school teacher by profession. He has been a gardener for over 30 years and an avid 'Hardy Planter' (hardy herbaceous perennials) for 20 years. He is a member of three national garden charities, the Hardy Plant Society (having been chairman of the local South Pennine group), the National Council for the Conservation of Plants and Gardens (being chairman and Collections coordinator of the Notts and Derby group), and the Royal Horticultural Society.

He holds an N.C.C.P.G. National Collection of hardy Euphorbia which has been featured on B.B.C. 2's Gardeners' World and B.B.C. TVs Tatton Park Show programme. The collection has also appeared in numerous gardening magazines including the R.H.S. journal 'The Garden' (twice), Gardens Illustrated and in a Japanese gardening magazine. It is also listed in the 2008 Good Gardens Guide.

Don has written a book for the Hardy Plant Society entitled Euphorbias. I run a small nursery specializing in a large range of Euphorbias (including rare and desirable varieties), perennials and seed.
