Examining the construction of a border

Arthur Parkinson is a garden writer, illustrator and photographer whose interest in cut flowers led him to work as florist to Sarah Raven. They co-founded the successful podcast together, Grow, Cook, Eat, Arrange. Before this, he studied for a year at Kew Gardens but admits that he would have been better suited to probably working at London Zoo in hindsight! It is his love of exotic birds that led him to visit the flamingos at Coton a few years ago.
