PETER MURRAY
Peter, from Davyhulme, Manchester, trained as a product
designer and, until recently, earned a living designing
furniture
After getting an allotment with his girlfriend
Alex just over a year ago, Peter discovered a love of gardening and
has become so keen on developing his new found green fingers that
he is now studying for his RHS Horticulture L2 certificate.
His first full year of production on the
allotment has taught him a lot about vegetables and how to grow
them and he’s so far enjoyed a good harvest despite some bad
weather along the way.
Peter’s next project is to convert the yard
outside his house into a comfortable outdoor dining area combining
traditional materials in keeping with the rest of the house with
modern seating and planting areas.
Once his studies are over, Peter hopes to set
up his own garden design business and is particularly interested in
helping the people in his local area, who mostly have small
gardens, to create exciting outdoor spaces.
