Richard Loader is a professional garden photographer based in the New Forest, Hampshire. Many of his photographic subjects are home-grown - veggies and flowers.
Richard's images appear in garden magazines all over the world, look out for his business name, FhF GreenMedia.
Richard has been growing since his school days, when his school chums were messing around with motor-bikes he was content cultivating his veg plot with an old British Anzani rotovator.
These days Richard (and his wife Sue) are pretty much self sufficient with fruit and veg. He also trials new flowers and veg varieties - he won't recommend something he hasn't tested.
