About Me

Welcome to Ben’s Botanicals! I’m a horticulturist based in Bournemouth with a passion for growing, propagating, and expanding my knowledge of the plant world.

I meticulously document everything I grow to gain a deeper understanding of each plant’s behaviour, both above and below ground. Most of my plants are grown through propagation, as I believe hands-on learning is the most valuable. As a result, my plants tend to be smaller than those found in big box stores or local nurseries, but I cultivate a wide variety, including some rare specimens.

My journey in horticulture began at Kings Park Nursery, where I was part of the production team and later managed the watering round in association with BCP Council. Currently, I am pursuing a Level 3 Complete Gardener course with the Horticulture Correspondence College, in association with City and Guilds, to further enhance my skills and knowledge.
