A groovy story of resilience with Chris Jesson (LIVE at Shrewsbury Flower show)
Manage episode 446481584 series 3504987
Chris Jesson, or better known as @GroovygardeningUK on Instagram, has become well known in our horticultural community, not least because of his down to earth, real personality and of course his unwaverering passion for gardening.
He's not afraid to talk about some of the real, challenging moments, including living with Autism, and recent changes in his life and career. At the time of recording this episode, Chris was unsure what the next chapter held... since then he's secured a new role as Head Gardener at Le Pommier Hotel Guernsey.
In this episode me and Chris talk about his career pathway, living with Autism and why Chris chooses to share some of those more personal and challenging moments, and incredible achievements, which have become core to all of us avidly following his journey on Social Media.
