The grower

I'm Andrew Gavin — a gardener, amateur botanist and plant collector working out of Penzance, Cornwall.

I've studied and worked in horticulture for twenty years and I'm RHS qualified. Most of that time has been spent looking after plant collections in large private and public gardens across the county, and the rest of it building up my own.

The bromeliads are all raised here in my own glasshouse — when you order one, you get an offset or cutting taken from a plant I've grown on myself. Everything goes out labelled properly, packed carefully, and posted the same week
