Founder Clive Lodge started work in a public park at the tender age of 15 in Northern England. After years of "on-site" training & formal college studies, he transferred to a technical college to become horticulture technician. Here Clive trained to teach Horticulture. After 4 years he formed a small landscaping company serving private & commercial clients in his native Yorkshire.
In 1991 Clive was recruited by a world famous fashion designer after a recommendation by the late Rosemary Verey. He took up the post as head gardener/estate manager on the 55 acre garden in Connecticut USA. This well published & reknowned garden was improved & developed to become one of the north east premier private gardens.
The company Clive Lodge LLC was formed in 2006.
In 1987 Clive was appointed head gardener to a prominent English entrepeneur in Hampshire, southern England. Renovating & re-organising this garden, he gained recognition from the national press.
In 1991 Clive moved to Hoveton Hall, Norfolk as head gardener to the Buxton family where he developed this 20 acre garden into a popular tourist attraction.
