Tig in the telegraph
Some years ago, Allan and Gaye created a weekly children’s gardening column Tig in the Garden for the Daily Telegraph (UK) from which this concept has grown. More recently Allan and his illustration students at Cambridge School of Art have cultivated a working relationship with the education team at Cambridge University Botanic Garden (UK) developing fun activates for visitors.
