Graham’s Horticultural Heritage
Graham is continuing a gardening heritage established by his Great Uncle, Thomas Hay V. C. O. , V. M. H. (1874-1952) who was Superintendent of Hyde and St. James's Parks and the gardens at Buckingham and Kensington Palaces and Marlborough House, London, during the reign of King George V and Queen Mary.
Thomas' son Roy Hay M. B. E. V. M. H. (1910-1989) was one of Britain's first media gardeners presenting gardening radio shows, editing Gardener's Chronicle (now Horticulture Week), and authored many gardening titles. Roy was credited with founding the Dig for Victory campaign for Prime Minister, Winston Churchill during WW2 and the Britain in Bloom campaign.
