Gardeners' World Masterclass

David started gardening as a child and has been growing plants for more than 40 years. He has worked in gardens and nurseries, growing on a range of different soils and in different regions of the UK. His extensive knowledge and practical experience of plants, crops and growing techniques is founded on a thorough botanical and scientific training, complemented by an in-depth understanding of garden design, wildlife, geology and climatology. He has travelled to every continent, with the exception of Antarctica, to discover plants and gardens, both independently and on more than 50 trips accompanying groups of gardeners.

And he has spent more than 20 years writing for and editing the nation’s crop of garden magazines and websites, most recently as Deputy and then Associate Editor for BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine. David has appeared on TV and radio, both as a regular contributor and an expert commentator, as well as on gardeners world.com in many practical videos.
