About Rupert Bannister
I have trained & worked with some of the leading gardening and horticulture institutions in the UK and overseas. 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. Time spent working and travelling in Japan inspired a passion for specialist and creative pruning of trees and shrubs which I now offer as a service in the south-west of England.
Please feel free to contact me regarding any horticultural, gardening or education subjects. I look forward to hearing from you,
Rupert Bannister
