Geoff Hamilton
Horticulture has always been an important part of life in Hertfordshire and Geoff began his climb to the top in the back garden of the family home when he was four. His passion for gardening strengthened and during the school holidays Geoff expanded his knowledge by helping out in local nurseries, mainly at the Van Hage nursery at the end of his road. All avenues led to Writtle Agricultural College in Essex where he passed with distinction, the National Diploma in Horticulture.

He began on his own as a freelance landscape gardener, and a very good one at that. The skills and techniques he learnt at college gave him the platform to expand his knowledge and gain that all important experience that was so energetically passed on to all of us later. He opened a Garden Centre, a completely run down building and transformed it into a thriving business where he promoted the plants more than the sundries - quite an unusual thing for a garden centre, even then. This is where his love of plants really came to the fore and it was a passion that would stay with him for the rest of his life.

Geoff Hamilton: The Organic Garden Book
This work shows how to cultivate everything from fruit and vegetables to flowers, trees, shrubs and lawns organically. It explains the principles of organic gardening, with practical sections on how to enhance the texture and fertility of soil. The book discusses natural methods of pest and weed control, with special emphasis on attracting a balance of vegetation and helpful predators. It explains all of the basic gardening techniques such as digging, pruning and propagation in easy-to-follow steps and it also includes chapters on greenhouse and container gardening and herbs.
