About Tim Sansom

Working with plants has always been my passion. From my earliest years I have always had an affinity for nature, from the wild ecologies of the unique Australian landscape to the beauty of a well-executed garden, I’m continually inspired by all that nature provides. Through my professional life I have developed a philosophy that encourages the synergy of a well-run enterprise and the positive environmental outcomes this can provide, where environmental and economic sustainability are both achievable as the commercial model for a prosperous and just future.
