| NEIL BRADFIELD
It is with great pleasure that we record the appointment of Neil Bradfield as our full time head gardener with The Fullers Mill Trust.
Neil completed a placement with Fullers Mill Garden during 2009, following which he has obtained full qualifications as a Professional Gardener through the PGG. He works closely with Bernard Tickner sharing knowledge and experience - our team of enthusiastic volunteers continue to be a very welcome support to both Bernard and Neil.
Fullers Mill Trust Garden is a 7 acre horticultural delight located in West Stow, Suffolk. The gardens were created by Bernard Tickner over a period of 50 years - having been carved out of inhospitable Forestry Commission woodland - with the Lark River flowing through - and a panorama over the Lackford Wildlife Reserve and Lakes - adjacent to the West Stow Saxon Village.
The Garden is now owned and managed by a registered charity called The Fullers Mill Trust.
