Johnny Warner started gardening at Hillside in the summer of 2023. Initially he was brought in as holiday cover by our longstanding gardener, John Davies, and then to help with some of the bigger winter jobs where more hands were needed. For the last two years he has been working here with John two days a week. 

Johnny dropped out of university where he was studying Illustration in Brighton at 21. He returned to his home town of Farnham and began working full time for his aunt’s garden maintenance business. He had worked with her every summer from the age of 16 and always felt most comfortable gardening.
