crowned BBC Young Gardener of the Yea.
John is available to give talks on
a wide range of gardening and horticultural topics including:
Crocosmias Through The Ages - An insight into
what most people believe to be that 'weedy montbretia'. The talk
dispells the myth that all crocosmias are weeds and looks into some of
the interesting 140 vibrant varieties around and covers a wide range of
cultural tips and growing techniques. Since being featured on BBC
Gardeners World in 2005 focusing on my Crocosmias collection which I
started when I was 14 Crocosmias are our speciality!
Fantastic Foliage - A talk with colour in mind
edges away from the stereotypical image of picking plants for their
flower and focuses on growing plants with vibrant colourful foliage,
covering a range of plants including perennials, shrubs, alpines and
much more.
Late Summer Perennials - Showing how you can
extend the summer colours into autumn and leading upto christmas, this
talk looks into later flowering perennials that are sometimes overlooked
and forgotten about but can however provide late splashes of colours in
any garden
