I am a great believer in fate, and as such I know that it was always my destiny to end up at Green Island. Like my farmer father, I know that we are only on this earth for a short time and can only be considered as guardians of the land.
Over the last twenty years I have been lucky enough to be able to indulge my passion for my love of plants as well as create the garden of my dreams, and it gives me enormous pleasure and satisfaction now to be able to share it with others.

Unfortunately, my mum and I didn’t have a great experience here today. First of all, the entrance driveway was concealed and we drove straight past it due to lack of a sign post on the road opposite the driveway.

When we got to the front entrance of the main building it looked like a side door into somebody’s house so we were a bit confused as to whether this was the
