Nick Macer

Nick Macer from Stroud is best known as a specialist nurseryman and owner of Pan Global Plants, Gloucestershire, UK, but also as a presenter on BBC's regular gardening show, Gardeners World where in autumn 2016 he looked at gardens specialising in hardy exotics.[1]

After, in his own words, a 'rebellious youth', he took a three-year course in arboriculture at Merrist Wood College. Then with a bank loan he started Pan-global Plants in 1997, now based in Frampton-on-Severn.[2] He has travelled the world[3] to find plants for his unique nursery which supplies plants to many significant gardens throughout the UK including the RHS, National Trust and Buckingham Palace.[4]
