Hi, I’m Steven Wells

I’m one to make the most of opportunities that arise, so I enjoy wearing a few hats in my life. I’m a nurse, horticultural therapist, and gardens & grounds coordinator in a large public hospital in Melbourne, Australia, and I’m a gardener and dabbler in various other horticultural pursuits.

I say that I have green blood, being from a family of generational orchardists and market gardeners, for which I’m forever grateful. I’m a passionate gardener and I currently live in a rental apartment with a balcony garden up high in the middle of Melbourne’s city CBD. My previous garden was at ground level in the suburbs and it was where I had fun for 19 years creating a garden surrounding a small unit/apartment. It was my gardening playground and I really enjoyed designing, building and gardening there. I was fortunate to have it shown on television shows and magazines.

In life, I do my best to stop and enjoy the smell of the roses (even though I don’t have any in my garden). Life is filled with various ups and downs, but one thing is certain … it is what we have right now, so get out and have some fun and give it your best.
