Andy has won RHS Gold medals at Chelsea Flower Show in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008.  He currently resides in House and Garden Magazine's exclusive list of the top designers in Britain and his work is also featured in BBC2's prime time series Small Town Gardens.  Recent accolades include Design and Decoration Awards and Principal awards from the British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI) OM 2005 and 2007 and from the Association of Professional Landscapers in the same year.

He was one of only a handful of garden designers selected to exhibit at the highly acclaimed Westonbirt International Festival and this year is the UK representative at the Singapore Garden Festival.  Andy is a registered member of the Society of Garden Designers.

Andy has presented gardening programmes for all the major terrestrial channels including Chelsea Flower Show for the BBC.  He is a gardening correspondent for the Guardian and was previously a columnist with the Daily Mail, Daily Express and Sunday Times.

His first book Planted gave the plodding world of Garden publishing a kick up the backside with its ground-breaking approach and fresh outlook and was widely acclaimed both here and abroad.  His second book Potted achieved the seemingly impossible by revitalising the tarnished images of indoor plants making them both stylish and sexy.  A third book on garden design is on the way.

He contributes regularly to numerous magazines including BBC Gardeners World, Gardens Illustrated, English Garden, Garden Life and the international design magazine Terra Architectura.

Andy worked at The Royal Horticultural Society Gardens Wisley and as a landscape gardener before graduating from the Welsh College of Horticulture in 1987.  He has travelled extensively observing gardens and plants in their natural habitats and has also plant hunted in Madagascar and collected seed in Kenya for the Millennium Seed Bank.
