Ashley Edwards is a qualified horticulturist and horticultural therapist having trained at Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew.   He’s  currently new Crocus Head Gardener.  Ashley’s career focus has been connecting people with plants. More recently this has been via media roles on TV, radio, garden writing and personal appearances, as well as practicing horticultural therapy in his previous Head Gardener role at National Charity, Horatio’s Garden.
