"Never regret the things in life you've done, only the things you haven't"
At 45, David Robinson left his successful management career to follow his dream, and after gaining his diploma "with distinction" at horticultural college he went....Up the Garden Path.
Up the Garden Path is David's award winning garden design company, based in Burntwood near Lichfield and transforming gardens in Lichfield and beyond.
David was awarded Silver and Bronze medals by the Royal Horticultural Society for his innovative garden design and he is a Registered Member of the Society of Garden Designers - meaning he is in the elite company of the best garden designers in the country.
Such is David's passion for garden design that he now lectures in the subject at Nottingham University. He is the resident garden design expert on Saga FM and he lectures for the BBC at the Good Homes Show and Gardener's World Live.
What he is most passionate about however,is bringing his skills and expertise into the gardens of Lichfield and Burntwood.
