I have been a serious gardener for over 30 years and have been specialising in growing and, prior to establishing the nursery, exhibiting Pelargoniums for the last 14 years.

In 2005 I left my full time employment in the Civil Service to concentrate on establishing a small private pelargonium nursery. I began trading in 2006 as the 'Gosbrook Pelargonium Nursery' from where I sell young plants by Mail Order, collection, Talks that I undertake or Plant Fairs. In 2007 we moved to larger premises in Shrivenham, Oxfordshire from where we now operate.

All pictures on the site are taken by myself and I get many e-mails asking what equipment I use.

Since May 2007 I have used a Canon EOS 5D digital SLR camera. This is a high quality camera that is used to produce both screen images and print images for my business plant catalogue etc. Each picture is taken in digital RAW format to obtain the maximum possible quality; they are then taken into Photoshop for colour correcting, this being done with the blooms in hand to get the best possible colour matches. Prior to my EOS 5D I had an EOS 10D, then prior to this I used an EOS 30 film camera and scanned slides into Photoshop using a film scanner.

Nearly all of the plants and blooms photographed for this site I have grown myself.
I have, however, included some shots of blooms or exceptional plants that have been grown by other leading pelargonium growers, where this is the case the growers name is noted.


On the technical side I began developing the first version of this web site in 1999. Over the years the site has matured and I think it now gives a good representation of our beloved Pelargoniums.

If you would like me to come along to your society to give you a talk on pelargoniums, with Laptop, Projector and plants for sale in hand, please visit my website at www.geraniumtalks.com for more information and contact details.
