Brent Heath
Brent grew up in Gloucester. He is a naturalist, an author, a photographer, a speaker, a daffodil hybridizer and a gardener. Because of achievements in all of these areas of expertise, he has won many gold medal awards from various organizations in the horticultural industry.
One of Brent’s greatest joys is sharing his love of all things natural in the world and inspiring people of all ages and experiences to look at the world around them in a different, eye-opening way. He has helped them understand how to take care of the earth for the next crop and/or for future generations. His plans for the future are to continue to play in his garden and care for the earth while encouraging others to do the same!
Brent helped Tom Armstrong layout the daffodil fields at Hooverness.
