Hi, my name is Ray Gardner and here is some background information on me. I’ve 25 years experience as a horticulturist, starting my career back in 1987. Initially I started out as a green keeper for a well know County Durham golf course. I worked as a green keeper for 10 years, whilst in employment with the golf course I studied horticulture at Durham College of Agriculture and Horticulture. I studied for 4 years in horticulture, green keeping turf management and then went on to do a further 2 years in business management skills. Having enjoyed a very successful career in green keeping I decided to use the in depth knowledge I had obtained over the years to change career. Using my knowledge of plant material, turf management, golf course construction and my natural flair for design, I decided to pursue a career in domestic garden design.
