Bean poles

A day out to the 500-acre regeneratively managed historic estate, Bore Place, in Kent, to collect bean poles for the Rottingdean garden.

The poles are made by the estate’s underwoodsman, John Waller, a fully qualified tree surgeon and coppice worker and craftsperson. John set up his own business in 2000 and now runs courses and offers woodland advice and tree surgery across Kent, Sussex, Surrey and into South London.
