Who are Wombat?
After about 15 years in IT I was able to realise a long-held dream. I wasn't enjoying my job or the office environment. I needed a new challenge and wanted a job that I would actually enjoy.
I had always had an interest in horticulture and I decided that was where my true passion lies. From working at a garden centre during my time at college to gardening for family and friends, my own garden at home and managing an allotment I knew that it was for me.
After spending a couple of years learning via correspondance courses in the evening, redundancy finally gave me the push I required.
