Although I have always had an interest in
the environment and conservation, I followed the usual path of
having a mainstream career and reserving that interest for my
leisure activities.
After spending 5 years in the corporate
world as a computer programmer, contributing to such things as
wagering, I came to realize that I would never feel fulfilled on
this career path nor with the associated lifestyle, and I would
have to compromise my principals and 'toe the line'.
Hence I made the leap from the IT sector to
the conservation sector despite the large reduction in wage. I quickly
realized that there was a rift between flora conservation &
revegetation movement and garden and landscape sector that I could contribute to bridging.
I resolved to try and make indigenous
plants more accessible and relevant to the average gardener in the Epping
region. Hence Greg's Indigenous Plants
& Landscapes was borne.
