Linda Ham

Linda Ham lived among orange and peach groves in Catalunya, Spain for seven years while working as an English teacher. After returning to the UK she enrolled on the Level 2 Certificate in Garden Design in January which she has followed up with the Level 3 Diploma. She’s now advising councils on planting schemes to tie in with the London 2012 Olympics and has worked at the RHS Flower Shows for the past two years.

“Whilst I loved teaching languages, it was an opportunity not to be missed to change career and get paid for doing something I absolutely adored! Gardening had always been a major hobby, and coming to Capel Manor has opened up so many avenues for me in the field of horticulture.”
