- Bio
- I started off as a Physical Education teacher in the secondary sector before retraining as a Landscape Architect. I now combine both these aspects working for Learning through Landscapes, which is the UK's national school grounds charity. I've worked for LTL for fifteen years now and my role includes developing new ideas and programmes as well as delivering on specialist aspects. In 2003 I received a Churchill fellowship allowing me to visit school grounds in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, USA and Bermuda and I try and keep the international contacts going for LTL.

- Hi Mary
Thanks for the flag up re the international conference. At the moment I have a rather hectic work schedule so I'm just waiting a week or two before deciding whether to attend the international/Coombs conference - though it does sound very good and interesting.
Hope all's well and I'm sure our paths will cross again soon.
Best wishes
