"I believe gardening provides some of the solutions to life's challenges. It reduces stress, teaches us resilience, care of our environment and gives us pleasure and rewards when we see what we can achieve through our endeavours"

Sophie Thomson's love affair with the environment and  gardening was inherited from her plant loving parents whilst growing up in the Adelaide Hills.

What started out as a necessity eventually became a key driver in her life as she steadily acquired in-depth knowledge of the nursery's large collection of rare and distinctive plant varieties. 

With over 35 years hands on experience, Sophie now believes that aside from the obvious environmental benefits, gardening improves our physical, mental and emotional well being as well as that of the broader community.

She describes herself an an "obsessive-compulsive gardener" who, were it not for the demands of her career and family, would spend every day in the garden.
