Well-known practical horticulturist and author Andy McIndoe has teamed up with Vitax to become its gardening expert for the new Vitax Garden World website.

Andy said: ?Vitax is a trusted brand and known for formulating products that work.? The new Vitax Garden World website provides enthusiastic growers with crucial information at the touch of a button and I am thrilled to working with them.”

?There is a wealth of information available on the internet but Vitax?s new website combines gardening knowledge matched to specific products to get the best results.? Over the coming months, I will be developing a range of easy-to-follow projects as well as advice on both simple and complex issues.?

With over 40 years? experience, Andy has been responsible for designing 25 Gold Medal exhibits at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and lectures to horticultural groups and societies.
