Head Gardeners such as Lucy and Saul relish this moment in the year as the starting gun for a season of flower, foliage and ultimate fun. Gardening kicks off and all the hard work of winter enters a crescendo of horticultural wonder.

Lucy and Saul have both devoted thousands of hours to furthering their horticultural education, learning both in the classroom and via practical tutorials and assessments.
