PORTRAIT OF A GARDENER

     The work of a gardener has changed radically over the last 30 years. New technology in developing seeds, plants, fertilisers, equipment and materials and a deeper understanding of climate have combined to make what can be one of the simplest and most traditional occupations one of the most sophisticated. It is also true that 30 years ago, professional gardening was almost exclusively a job for men and boys. Thankfully, that is no longer the case. A shiningly successful example of how times have changed is Fiona Crumley, the head gardener of the Chelsea Physic Garden.
     Fiona had originally wanted to go into agriculture, but she was put off by an interviewer at the Agricultural Advisory Board who was 'dead against women in agriculture'. She says she was impressionable enough as a school-leaver to believe that he must be right. So when her Careers Advisor suggested horticulture*, that seemed the best way to follow her interest in plants. At that time, Wiltshire County Council had a unique course which had been set specifically for training gardeners.
     After that she went to college to do a three-year Higher National Diploma course in Amenity Horticulture* It was a sandwich course: the first year was spent at college, the second working away from college and the third back in college preparing for final exams. Fiona's year of work experience was with the London Borough of Enfield in their Parks and Recreation Department. Enfield gave the students a well-structured year with time for working in a variety of environments -from parks to cemeteries.
     This excellent training took Fiona to Newby Hall in North Yorkshire, a garden and country house which was open to the public for part of the year. This was demanding 'hands-on' gardening with just five gardeners for 10-hectare garden. After a few years there, Fiona saw a post advertised at the Chelsea Physic Garden. She applied and was appointed. She became head gardener three and half years later. 
     Opportunities for young gardeners are increasing, since there are more and more country houses and gardens open to the public. There is also considerable interest in seeing historic gardens restored and maintained. You could in fact say that gardening is a growth area...

Horticulture - the study and practice of growing flowers, fruit, and vegetable; Amenity Horticulture - horticulture for parks, leisure centres, cemeteries, etc.
