Mark came on to talk to us about his excellent new book The Future of Gardens which is out now available at all good bookshops, I highly recommend it if you want a glimpse in to the future and technologies that might filter down to the consumers in the next few years.

It was great to hear Mark’s origin story and how gardening saved him during a dark time in his life and now is a passion campaigner for charities providing this service to others.
