The gardeners path
Green -fingered all he life, Poppy only became a professional at age 30 when she took a job at Regents Park. Here she absorbed all the facets of this ancient and venerable craft . She was sent to Eltham Palace to complete her training and passed her RHS City and Guilds 1 2 and 3 with distinction.
Since then she has planned, created , restored and maintained literally hundreds of gardens – mainly in London.
