Our Gardening Team
Sarah Turnbull: Owner/Director
I've worked within the garden industry since 2002. At 21 I moved to London where I studied an RHS certificate in Horticulture at Capel Manor College and worked in several garden centres over 8 years boutique and chain. I was then approached to help run a small independent garden shop which offered garden maintenance. This is where I learnt how to run a business!
Originally from Wolverhampton I then moved back home, and launched The Potting Shed in 2016.
Outside of work: I play the guitar, like going to gigs, cycling and having a few beers in the pub!
On the jukebox: Indie rock, The Killers, folk music
