About Phil Broomfield

About the garden history detective

Who is Phil Broomfield?

Phil Broomfield has always had a passion for horticulture, but his career started back in 2010 when he set up his own gardening business – The Garden Doctor.  

Studying garden history has been an interest for a great many years, having visited countless National Trust and Historic Houses.  

He really likes to get a real feel for the place, its origins and how over the centuries gardens have evolved to suit changing fashions. 

This passion has led him to create a series of Garden History lectures to offer clubs and associations across Dorset and surrounding counties, even further afield! 

Some may say he is a garden hybrid between Sherlock Holmes and Gertrude Jekyll!
