GARDENING IN THE UK WITH MR. PLANT GEEK 🌱Life Seeds Podcast ft. Michael Perry, Mr. Plant Geek
🌱 Your source of garden + life inspiration
🌿 Season One | Episode 4
Life seeds is the intersection of learning more about our garden and ourselves. Growth can be experienced in many different ways and can be observed in many different ways. But before growth can happen, seeds have to be planted.
MEET MR. PLANT GEEK
I’ve always been a PLANT GEEK! Of course, during the “cool” teenage years, I desperately tried to hide it. But, now, as we enjoy a golden age in horticulture, I am out and proud! The concept of Mr Plant Geek was born around four years ago, on a rainy evening in New York, no less. I was on the brink of going freelance, after a long career with one company, and needed a title. A title that would sum up what I’m about. Mr Plant Geek was the result!
During my time at Thompson & Morgan, the premier mail order plant company in England, I racked up 18 years of experience. I was busy introducing hundreds of brand new plants into the UK marketplace, with headline grabbers such as the Egg and Chips plant and the tasty Fuchsia Berry! In 2015, I was super chuffed to be listed in the Top ’20 most influential horticulturists’ by The Sunday Times, in recognition of my innovations. I’m also immensely proud of the fun, yet informative website we have created with mrplantgeek.com, with super accessible content!
From WTF Gardening to Your Ideal Plant Guide, the online ‘gardening school’ can help any level of gardener. I should be easy to find on social media too, and just love sharing my plant finds with followers. I hope to excite and inspire!
