Well not quite! I was a mere Apprentice for seven years, doing college as well. That is where you learnt your trade, not at college but on the Victorian parks and gardens! Then University, Head Gardeners jobs, winning Chelsea to being in charge of the Queens house!
That is what the people remember me for, not Chelsea or doing a Jekyll garden, being at Greenwich! Plus they want me to help out.
Doctors and solicitors\lawyers get paid, as a mere Head Gardener you don't! One rule for them and one for us mere mortals!
Regards.
Neil.
