Liz is a Landscape Architect and started her gardening career at the age of 4 growing sweetcorn in her own vegetable patch. A lifelong obsession with the outdoors began. Liz has fiendish organizational skills and just loves to get things done.

Paige is our Accountant, Office and HR manager.  She is likely your first port of call when you phone Busy Lizzy. She would like to consider herself a gifted kitchen-herb grower but we know her true skills lie not in the garden - but as our master of efficiency and organisation.
