Today is Raymond's 80th birthday! Since the age of 16 he has worked in
horticulture, only taking a short break to do his National Service with 3
Para. In 1981 the family moved to Landscove, Devon and he's been here ever
since, running the Nursery with his son, Matthew. He's still working every
day and rarely takes time off. And as I've just heard him say on the
phone, he's definitely not retiring because he's seen too many people age
virtually overnight once they do that! He's out there now, propagating
some of his 'babies'! I have also heard him say that when old gardeners
are cremated, they're scattered two ounces to the
I've left instructions that's what's to happen to me. On the allotment, then
I'll be truly organic. Happy birthday to Ray.
