I'm 46 and done horticulture most of my life, did landscaping for first five years as well as 2yrs at college 3 days a week to learn all the plants etc, also worked for two months in Andrew Lloyd Webbers garden whilst landscaping that was interesting and such a. Beautiful mansion because his wife at the time didn't like the different colour greens in the grass, oh to have that much money
Then I went down the garden centre route when my 3kids where born as it was a lot closer to home and better working in the winter, that's where I found I was quite good at the display side and since they every Christmas doing the displays for different centres, it was great when the kids was younger going to Holland every 3 weeks buying houseplants and Italy in the spring buying specimen plants,I'ven been at this garden centre for nearly six years and pretty much do most of the visual merchandising as well as the houseplant buying for my store, we have 30 centers in the group but all run independent from each other.
The last month we been putting Christmas out, here's a display I finished the other day.
At least this centre is 4miles from home and get plenty of time for my wife and grandkids and also my boa collection
