He was gardening correspondent for the subtropics with Your Garden magazine from 1989 to 1995 and, with his wife Lesley Watt, wrote a column about warm climate vegetables. He is founder of Horticulture 4 Development and Greg has collected early Australian gardening and horticultural books for over 30 years.
