Originally from Bromley, Kent. Singapore Botanic Gardens was the best botanical horticulture job offer I got after training at Kew, so it was time for a bit of an adventure!

Why, where are you originally from? And how did you end up in Singapore? :)

You're welcome :) Made me feel a bit homesick looking at tiny speedwells and the like!
