Background

About Jon Davis

I have over 10 years of professional, commercial horticulture and gardening experience spanning landscape design, execution and maintenance. I am a qualified RHS member with a good knowledge of plant types, maintenance, issues and upkeep. Having grown up on a working farm in Hertfordshire, I have always had an affinity with the great outdoors. In my 20’s, I was interested in the arts and began a career in design and marketing. However, the call of the great outdoors encouraged me to retrain and start gardening. Eventually, this developed into a successful private landscape maintenance gardening business. Using my knowledge, work ethic, inter-personal and commercial skills I built a professional company with a client base of high repeat business. Family circumstances required me to relocate and consequently I am currently working at an agricultural dealer. However, I now wish to broaden the scope of my experience and pursue more directly other opportunities within the countryside, conservation, estate and outdoor sectors for the longer term future.
