About

As soon as I found out I was to be made redundant from my 20 year career at Cheshire Building Society I decided to set up my own gardening business and do something I am passionate about. Having completed a degree in Accounting and Finance in the early nineties I joined the Cheshire in 1995 spending a few years in the Mortgage and Treasury departments and then in IT for 17 years, and stayed there until the end of the company in 2014.

In 2014 Kathryn Moore Gardening began. However I have been gardening since I was a youngster, with a particular interest in wild flowers. When my mum and dad bought a greenhouse I was hooked. I sowed my first seeds and grew my first tomatoes and bedding plants.

In 2009 I pursued formal qualifications studying, and passing with distinction, a BTEC Advanced Certificate in Garden Design at Reaseheath College. In 2013 I began studying the RHS Level 2 Horticulture course at Reaseheath, passing the course with commendation.

I also take a weekly gardening club at my local school where I have designed, built and sought funding for a Sensory garden and a community allotment. With the children we designed a Back to Back garden which was on view to the Congleton public during the summer of 2014.
