History
Established in 2004, Todd's Botanics is the creation of Mark and Emma Macdonald who met while studying at Pershore College. Emma specialised in Garden Design, and spent time working at Great Dixter, Beth Chatto, Le Manoir, BBC Gardeners' World and The Flying Gardener, while Mark studied Commercial Horticulture and went on to manage an exotic plant nursery in the Midlands.
The team
Julie is the lynchpin of the nursery who joined Todd's after graduating from Writtle Horticultural College (with a first class degree in Horticulture), she is in charge of the day to day running at the nursery and all of the Mail Order.
Lee is in charge of the hard landscaping and garden maintenance, he has a wealth of experience and a meticulous eye for detail. Having studied at Writtle Horticultural College Lee ran his own landscaping business for 10 years before joing Todd's.
Karen is the latest addition to the Todd's family, another Writtle graduate Karen is based at the nursery when she's not on holiday!
Neil is Mark's father who having helped build the nursery now helps with the many shows we exhibit at, from Grand Designs to Hampton Court!
David is Emma’s long suffering father who helps out around the nursery. He keeps the nursery maintenance in check and makes sure the nursery is staffed when needed.
