About Peter:
Peter Seabrook MBE., VMH., AH(RHS), M.oH.(RHS) started working at weekends on a local market garden before starting secondary school. He grew sweet peas in his back garden to sell to the local florist and raised enough money to fly to Holland and visit nurseries there aged sixteen.
Peter was employed on seed trial grounds for two years before studying horticulture at Writtle College gaining the College Diploma in 1956. During college vacations experience was gained working in top fruit orchards, bedding plant and tomato nurseries, before doing two year national service were the army paid for lessons in floristry!
Returning to Cramphorn the seed and garden retail company, he worked in all areas of nursery production, mail order and shows becoming nursery director. Then after four years on the road for Bord na Mona, travelling in the South East of England and the Channel Isles as their technical representative, he became a consultant to leading wholesale nursery companies, a director of two separate garden centre companies and gave advice to many independent horticultural businesses.
His broadcasting appearances started with the BBC Radio Home Service in 1965 including In Your Garden and Gardeners' Question Time, then on to BBC Television from 1975 presenting such programmes as Gardeners' World, Pebble Mill at One, Chelsea Flower Show and in America over twenty years broadcasting coast to coast with PBS programme The Victory Garden out of Boston, USA.
Two of his books Complete Vegetable Gardener and Shrubs for Your Garden, the latter set to music and premiered in Sydney Opera House, have been published in more than ten languages.

One of the best gardening videos I have ever watched

[@jemrawc]

Absolutely excellent video tutorial! All explained plainly in common terms so that I could understand…Even though I know absolutely nothing on this topic. The best part is Peter! His kindness, caring and knowledge comes through almost poetically in his lovely, charming, caring, accented soothing voice that seems to touch my soul. Thank you for sharing this excellent video Peter! ❤ from Shannon in Canada 🇨🇦

[@GFlor-tz1wv]

Idk y but his voice is so nice

[@valerieroman8290]

Thank you. Loved your viedo. I will practice that transplanting from now on. I have loved gardening for 40 years. I have tried Gerbera before and they just disappear. I really want to try them again. I would love to share my small garden with you. The part where you get the creature is a bit to much for me to do. Could I just cut the leaf off and put in trash? I have subscribed and alerted me to any posts you do.

[@manishhkr]

What are the sunlight requirements for Gerberas....?

[@suchitraroy9320]

hello sir I am from India.. I have this beautiful plant.. please share some types for this lovely plant.. to grow healthy.. have a nice day.. bye..

[@kayestover5765]

Never heard of them as a houseplant, but I live in California.

[@ritakang2416]

My gerbera has fungus now, how should I treat it

[@kylahammock7057]

What if the stem is bent from being left outside with no water on a hot day? I watered them but the stems are still bent? I added some support to the three stems that are bent in hoping they’ll come back 🤞

[@schantelltajaard7854]

Why is it that mine isn't flowering? For the last 4 months they stopped flowering and the leaves of the plant is this dull dark green color.

[@ecopley9013]

Does anyone know if it is normal for gerberas in a vase to get a black spot in the middle of the centre?

[@navniitpanwar2384]
