Kate, Propagation Manager

Kate has been managing our brilliant propagation team since 2013. Before joining us Kate worked at Ventnor Botanic Garden on the Isle of Wight, as a Propagator and general gardener.

This isn’t Kate’s first time working here at Shallowmead – she worked here as a teenager with the pervious owners. This was when it was a wholesale business that mainly grew tomatoes. So things have changed quite a lot since then!

Lyndon, Horticultural Operations Manager

We’d like to introduce Lyndon, our new Horticultural Operations Manager. His aim is to develop the range of plants at Shallowmead – we already grow 85% of plants on site and he’s looking to extend that even more.

Lyndon has 30 years experience in the horticultural and service industries.

If you need help deciding what plants to buy for a specific area of your garden, why not book one of our advice hours with Lyndon? £15 for an hour one-on-one session (coffee & cake in Mabel’s included). Discuss your garden requirements and visit the nursery with Lyndon to choose a selection of suitable plants for your outdoor space. Call 01590 672550 or email to book a session.
