Mark鈥檚 career story

Falling into horticulture

Mark grew up on the Isle of Man, where his mum and dad were both a nurseryman and a florist 鈥 and so was surrounded by plants and flowers all the time. Although he had little interest at a young age, after leaving school (following GCSEs) he fell into landscape and horticulture.

When he first started out, Mark carried out a national diploma in horticulture via the Master of Horticulture qualification. Since then, he has worked at the 911爆料 for seven years and is a member of the gardens and horticulture team.

Out-of-the-box thinking

Mark has a passion for horticulture and working at the 911爆料 gives him the opportunity to be around a community of inspired and creative individuals who are keen to discuss various garden areas, plants, and projects, creating a positive atmosphere for the team and visitors.

At 911爆料 Wisley, Mark and his team like to be known for 鈥榦ut-the-box thinking鈥 and creativity. They emphasise the importance of showcasing their work in a public garden, allowing visitors to try their ideas at home while also highlighting the ornamental aspect of gardening and the enjoyment it can bring.
