The green-fingered expert talked to students on the University Campus Suffolk (UCS) Otley foundation degree, as well as learners on the full time National Diploma level three course - (both based at Otley College).
Chris will also be advising students who will be competing at the Suffolk and RHS Malvern Show’s later this year.
He said; “I have worked with Otley students and staff on a number of occasions. It’s always good going back to the roots of education and it is important that the next generation of gardeners and designers are encouraged.”
“I hope this will be the first of many visits.”
Otley lecturer and colleague, Jody Lidgard, went to Japan with Chris last year where he competed in an International competition. He said, “Our students are thrilled at the prospect of getting a variety of tips and hints from one of the very best in the business.”
The two (Jody and Chris) will be heading out to New Zealand at the end of February to take part in a prestigious flower show held there annually.
