Maura Clarke

Having pottered in the garden for years, my passion for Horticulture came late in life. It was my quest for knowledge that led me to do a BSc in Horticulture and then the follow on course BSc (Hons) in Land Management in Horticulture, in WIT and Kildalton colleges. My main interests are Herbaceous Perennials, Ferns, Hellebores, Plants for Shade, Plant Propagation, Nature and Wildlife. I think of the Garden Centre as my ‘Class Room’, where I can impart my knowledge to customers by giving advice, ideas and food for thought, and talking about plants, it doesn’t get much better than that.
