David Lewis has been helping us in the garden for over 9 years but has decided that he must now concentrate on his other profession - photography. He has been taking fantastic wedding photographs for many years but is beginning to enter the world of commercial photography.

We are devastated as he has been a key part of making the gardens what they are today - enormously knowledgeable and incredibly flexible - pruning the wisteria on a high ladder one day and putting up the wedding tent the next/picking figs or planting carrots! We will miss him enormously but wish him well in his new career.
