John Garner

John has had a varied career, working for central and local government and most recently as one of a team of gardeners maintaining a 15 acre formal garden on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors. His lifelong interest in archaeology led him to become involved in a variety of voluntary and training projects in North Yorkshire and the Pennines, but he had difficulties in securing a full-time role as he had not completed a degree in archaeology. His many transferable skills and familiarity with the demands of working in a physical occupation in all weathers, make him an ideal member of the team.
