Rupert Keys is the founder of the TASK Academy, which provides landscaping courses and training for people involved in the industry. The website says that the courses are based in reality, which I am sure they would be as Rupert has over 30 years experience in the industry.
Rupert and a team from the TASK Academy recently built the Newson Health Menopause Garden at Gardeners World Live for garden designer Ruth Gwynn, who just happens to be Rupert's wife. This garden won platinum and Best in Show Award, and was a garden that was demonstrably so popular with visitors that when I was at the show I could not get a good photograph of it because it was always full of people.
This was not Rupert's first venture into show garden construction by any scale: he has been involved in over 50 award winning show gardens including at RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
So it is amazing that Rupert found time to answer The Questions, but I am very grateful that he did.
The QuestionsWell that's not going to happen! I'd invest more into helping local schools and special needs academies to create a modern horticulture facility that is practically led.
