The Export Gardener: A Clumsy Australian Starts a Gardening Business in the UK.

How on earth do you put stripes on a lawn?

The big move from Australia to England wasn't exactly going to plan, when I decided instead to start a gardening business in the UK.

So I moved to Sevenoaks in Kent; rented a flat, bought some equipment and promptly chopped down the wrong tree.

I worked with some crazy clients, met the odd angry neighbour and soon learned that stinging nettles and shorts are not a good mix.

Well it seemed like a good idea at the time...
