Roger Clarke LCGI, MI. Hort
Originally trained as an apprentice mason bricklayer, this experience gave me a firm grounding for the landscape industry, which I entered 27 years ago, commencing my horticultural training in Durham then moving onto the parks department in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Gaining experience as a head gardener and working in the landscaping business has proved to be important in my 18 years of teaching.
I have consistently been graded highly by Ofsted and am an assessor and verifier in horticulture for City & Guilds.
My experience encompasses consultancy, talks, broadcasting and award winning garden construction at the Chelsea and Hampton Court Flower shows.

I gained my management experience at a major UK bank, working in administration and branch management. After retraining to qualify as a teacher I joined a successful horticultural team at a leading land-based college, to lecture in business, finance and entrepreneurship.
A qualified assessor, I have taught and assessed the mandatory units for NVQ's, particularly in amenity horticulture.
An examiner for Edexcel (BTEC), I am a member of the Chartered Institute Of Management and The Institute for Learning
