Training and education

As well as online resources like my blog, I have created some popular online course available through Udemy (see below), and I regularly deliver specialist talks for garden centre and other audiences.

In addition, I have lectured at several of our Polytechnics and written a number of books (see below).

Online courses (through Udemy):

• A beginners guide to pruning and training plants. See preview below
• Propagation of ornamental plants
• Organic edible gardening
• A beginners guide to designing gardens and drawing plans

Check this link to view and enrol for the pruning course.
