This site is owned by Dot Cruickshank. A keen Horticulturist.

I have been involved with horticulture all my life.
Both my parents were keen gardeners and have passed on their knowledge to me.
I studied horticulture at school and furthered my study at Tertiary level gaining a Diploma in Horticulture.

I have since been involved in many aspects of horticulture working in nurseries, for a local council dealing with among other things the propagation of seedlings for display gardens and planting and maintaining the gardens. Also running my own Rhododendron propagating business and always growing vegetables for the family.

Having now moved to a small property where space is at a premium I have a keen interest in growing vegetables in containers so that I can still continue to produce my own tasty fresh vegetables and make as much use of the available space as possible.
