Mark Richardson – Botanical Consultant Since finishing my science degree in 1976, I have been working with plants. I have been a horticulturist, a researcher, the curator of world renowned botanic gardens, the director of an international conservation program and now a botanical consultant. My work has involved an extremely broad range of botanical activities and I have developed a large number of valuable contacts.
