Meet Joseph - Kent’s expert gardener, garden designer and planting specialist
“If it wasn’t for Dad, I wouldn’t be the gardener that I am.”
“By the time I was walking and in a wheelbarrow, at the age of 4 I was introduced to the gardening world. My first job was at the neighbours - quarter of an acre land.”
‘If it wasn’t for Dad, I wouldn’t be the gardener that I am. I was always out with him for as long as I can remember. He used to take me outdoors even in cold weather and we would always have a big bonfire.”
