I live in Teignmouth and I work part-time running my own business as an eco-gardener with over 6 years of experience. I have an excellent knowledge and appreciation of the natural world, habitats and species. I find that one of the best ways to engage people with wildlife is through gardening – taking ownership and responsibility for a green area. I enjoy sharing information and advice with customers, to enhance their success and positive outcomes, both for them and wildlife. Wildlife ponds and wildflower meadows are becoming more and more popular with garden owners, and these are habitats I love to create effectively, and which have a lasting positive impact for students.
