North Devon Finer Gardens was established in 2008 by Simon Mountjoy who has gained considerable experience working in a number of internationally renowned botanical gardens and arboretums. This experience and his knowledge of plants and their requirements can help you realise your dream of the perfect garden, be it big or small.

After gaining an H.N.D. in Horticulture from Bicton College, Devon, Simon went on to train at the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens in Hampshire. The year-long training programme covered all aspects of horticulture including time spent working at the University of Oxford Botanic Garden. After the initial year he spent another two years at the gardens as a full-time employee and was eventually given the responsibility of looking after a four-acre section of the gardens. In 2004 he set out from England to embark on a year-long work experience tour of New Zealand which was sponsored by the R.H.S. During that time he worked in several top horticultural institutions including Christchurch Botanic Garden, Dunedin Botanic Garden, and Eastwood Hill Arboretum. In addition to his work experience in New Zealand he has been on two study trips to Japan. Whilst there he spent time visiting Japanese gardens and studying their style of horticulture. Both study trips were funded by the R.H.S.

Prior to setting up his own business "Finer Gardens", he was in charge of running a small private estate near Tiverton.

So if you are looking for a horticulturist with an in-depth knowledge of plants and their requirements who can skilfully maintain your long-nurtured garden then contact Simon to discuss your project today.
