“I wanted the course to be useful to beginner gardeners as well as those with more experience.
“Gardening can be quite complicated and if you start looking online it all gets confusing.
“I wanted to help people to garden with more confidence, so they can really enjoy creating something beautiful.”

Hide AdDuring the pandemic, Greg and his team saw first-hand just how important gardening is to people.
He added: “People have told me gardening saved their mental health during the last couple of years.
“This isn’t a surprise to me, but the pandemic has really brought it home. “
During the first lockdown, they were out delivering plants to people, although availability was limited at times. Whatever they could get was quickly snapped up.

“That’s been another reason why I wanted to do this course. Everything is online now; there is a place for that, but I think people are really wanting that human connection at the moment.
“I wanted us to be offline, learning and sharing all about gardening together, as a community. In some ways this is all about celebrating being together again”
