Meet Cameron
An experienced hand from seed to harvest
When it comes to veg plants, if Cameron doesn’t know about it? It ain’t worth knowing. They’re one of his horticultural passions and the quality of the produce he – well, produces – at the nursery is testament to that fact. Cameron pairs time-honoured horticultural traditions alongside the very best modern techniques in our fabulous, purpose-built nursery in Evesham. With a background that saw him place at the Grand Finals at the Young Horticultural Awards back in 2022, we’re proud to have someone that really knows his onions.
