Head Gardener Mark!

If you’ve ever wondered why your plant’s leaves are turning yellow, how to revive a droopy vine, or whether you can save a root-rotted houseplant… you’re in the right place. My goal is to make plant care less confusing, less overwhelming, and a lot more enjoyable.
🌱 Who I Am
Hi, I’m Mark, an experienced, qualified botanist and landscape gardener, and I’m the creator of Gardening Rescue.

I have my keen assistant Libby the Labrador with me in the house and garden at all times!

🌼 Why I Started This Website
Like many plant lovers, I started with a few houseplants and made every beginner mistake along the way. Over time, I learned how to revive plants, prevent problems, and help them thrive.
I created Gardening Rescue to share what I’ve learned, help you avoid common frustrations, and make plant care stress-free.
