Graham Rice - Garden writer and photographer

Description

I was born in Surbiton, a suburb in the southwest of London not far from Hampton Court Palace, and I trained in horticulture and botany at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew

My first garden was a small bed under an ash tree in the garden at home and, with the encouragement of my parents, I sowed some radishes. They grew well enough, but tasting them put me off gardening for years - I still can't face a radish. Fortunately, after leaving school I discovered plants and went to work at Kew.

Progressing from weeding the rock garden to propagating perennials, I then took the three year Diploma course at Kew, passed with flying colours, and joined the staff of the late and much lamented Practical Gardening magazine where I was eventually in charge of ensuring the horticultural accuracy of the whole magazine and planning its content.
