About us
Dave Smith’s passion for Gardening, and Landscaping in
particular, was formed whilst still a youngster, living on a farm in
mid-Wales. This keen interest led him to Australia, where he spent a
year working top fruit orchards and vineyards, then on to New
Zealand, where he worked as Groundsman and Assistant to a Tree
Surgeon.
It was in New Zealand that he met his wife (Katrina) who hailed from Stirling, and they returned to Scotland to further his career.
Constant progress and development followed, including plant identification and maintenance techniques, steadily increasing both his knowledge and a raft of relevant Professional Certificates (see below).
