 Ken
Crowther
Down to Earth
Ken has been a gardener all his life, well at least from the
age of 14.
Don't
ever ask about Bonsai, as the only time he was asked to look
after some for one of his customers he killed them both within
the space of a month.
Ken
is keen on Japanese Gardens and one that he built is open
to the public at Capel Manor College in Enfield. This has
a Tea House, Waiting Pavilion and a Zen Garden.
Join
Ken amd his guests for Down to Earth every Saturday at 12noon.
Don't forget you can always catch up with Ken at the BBC Essex
Garden on the Ongar Road in Abridge.
