Ian LeGros Curator RHS Garden Hyde Hall

I joined the Hyde Hall team as an untrained assistant gardener in 1992, was promoted to Garden Superintendent in April 2005 and then to Curator in June 2006. Over the years I have been lucky enough to play a lead role in many of Hyde Hall’s landmark projects including setting out the Farmhouse Garden, the redevelopment of the Queen Mother’s Garden, and the creation of the Millennium Avenue and Wild Wood. Most recently I helped to co-design the new Robinson Garden which was opened in 2007.

Hi - Iam a new member and recently joined many other people to attend your grow your own garden day.  I do have one comment to make -  when trying to hear the speaker with regard to how to do things you could not hear him because there were so many people there and if you were at the back it was impossible to hear which I found very frustrating - would it not be possible for the speaker to have a microphone so that all could hear. Regards Jennie
