About Andrew Hall
Andrew Hall, since boyhood, has been interested in gardens and collecting. On leaving school he gained an apprenticeship in horticulture with Sheffield's Parks Department and received training in botany while working at the City's Botanical Gardens. Following his training in horticulture, Andrew formed his own landscaping business and became a lecturer in horticulture at a further education college in Sheffield.
Collecting was always in his blood and it was not long before clanking noises were coming from the shed at the bottom of his garden! Andrew has an uncontrollable appetite for collecting and it does not stop at lawn mowers. Other interests include identifying, pressing and mounting examples of British flora and grasses.
Andrew has served on the South West Committee of the Inst. of Groundsmanship and has been a guest lecturer for the Dept. of Landscape Technology at Springfield Technical Community College, Springfield MA, USA since 1999.
