Michelle Cain started work at VBG last Monday and has made a great start sorting out the Tropical House with some hard work with Stevo, Gordon and some of the Friends’ Wednesday volunteers. It’s amazing what they have done already, all the rampaging creeper that was endangering the structure has gone, the overgrown planting has been cut back and the lily pond drained for cleaning and maintenance ready for planting.
Michelle was previously Head Gardener at Sissinghurst Castle Garden and brings a wealth of experience in horticulture to Ventnor. The Friends’ wish her every success in her new role and look forward to working with her in this the 50th Anniversary year of the Garden.
