On this episode of Cultivate Your Future, Colegrave Seabrook Foundation Trustee, Neville Stein, is in conversation with an unsung hero of the horticultural world.  

Some people might not have even considered David's role, but we would notice pretty quickly if there was nobody doing his job, because without people like David, there’d be no sport. Well, less sport perhaps. 

David Smith, a turf care specialist whose expertise has made many sporting events possible.  

So, if you’re interested in finding out how to bring your horticultural skills to the golf course, tennis court or football pitch, this is the podcast for you. 

You’ll hear a little about what a groundskeeper does but also about how to create a business or buy into a franchise, so there’s a lot to take in here.
