I make a selection of seasonal flower arrangements and wreaths, mostly for my own home, but I can also do some for customers. See a seleection below:

RSPB Magazine Photoshoot

My home garden was recently photographed for an as yet-to-be-published feature about small wildlife gardens in Natures Home, the RSPB Magazine.

The photos in this section were all taken by Andy Hay, with Adrian Thomas.
