About Rupert Bannister
I have trained & worked with some of the leading gardens and horticultural institutions in the UK and overseas. Having travelled and worked in inspirational locations from the wilderness of Scotland and New Zealand to the gardens of Cornwall and Japan I bring elements from each into my horticultural and education work. Combining passions of plants, gardens and people I currently work as a freelance horticulturalist and horticultural educator based in East Devon where I live with my wife and eleven year old son.
Please feel free to contact me regarding any horticultural or education subjects. I look forward to hearing from you,
Rupert Bannister
