Senior Lecturer in Landscape Management, Anglia Ruskin University I am a Senior Lecturer in Landscape Management at Anglia Ruskin University, Writtle Campus. I have worked here since the year 2000 and my specialisms are in relation to environmental horticulture, which involves the various ways that we can deploy plants in a non-food context for environmental improvement. Originally training as an estate gardener, I went on to study at Leeds University, and then Wye College (Imperial) before commencing my current position. In between studies, I have also worked as a commercial interior and exterior landscaper, as well as gaining experience in ornamental production horticulture. I have authored several books on the subject of plants, horticulture and sustainable gardening techniques but have also written for numerous consumer (gardening) magazines. I also have the honour to have been awarded 3 gold medals for educational exhibits at the the RHS Chelsea show, and regularly feature as an expert guest on radio garden shows. Through my time as a lecturer, I have always sought to ensure that work undertaken by academics and researchers can be made accessible and relevant to amateur audiences; hence much of my output is community focussed and aimed at widening participation for students of all backgrounds.
