In this episode I speak with Craig Clarke from Total Garden Management, a garden maintenance company based in Melbourne.

Craig started in the industry by mowing lawns when he was about 8, and hasn't left in more than 30 years. He worked for Semken Landscaping and Robert Boyle in his first 10 or so years in the industry so had a couple of great companies to learn from prior to going out on his own.

He's since built relationships with designers such as Gareth Le Page and Jaye Metcalf where he maintains some of the gardens they design, and it was a great example of how beneficial that can be, working with regular designers, so that you get to understand their vision and how they like their gardens to be realised.
