The Pictorial Meadows Masterclass is the perfect opportunity for professionals to learn from the experts about creating dazzling Urban Meadows to benefit both people and our beleaguered wildlife.

After graduating from Lancaster University with a degree in Geography and Environmental Science Jonathan spent the next 15 years travelling the world with the military where digging trenches and living off the land was a life saver on more than one occasion and a great testing ground for what was to come. After working in several senior management positions in the commercial world he then decided to follow his heart and put his latent skills and passion to good use. So in 2001 he hung up his suit and swapped the company car for a more suitable mode of transport.

Since then Jonathan has designed and built gardens of all shapes, sizes and styles – always respecting the aspirations of the client whilst gently introducing his own ideas and knowledge to create something special. Wherever possible he likes to make allowances for encouraging and accommodating wildlife within a garden or larger landscape setting and is never happier building ponds and areas of naturalistic plantings when the opportunity arises.

Jonathan joined the Pictorial Meadows team in 2015 as Commercial Director. Travelling around the UK to talk to clients on site, constantly at the end of the phone discussing projects and getting hands on with meadow research gives him a unique insight into the successes, benefits and challenges customers from all different sectors experience.
