About the Author
Tony O'Neill is a leading global gardening influencer. Though a full-time firefighter, he uses every opportunity to build his growing gardening brand, Simplify Gardening. The brand is the product of 14 years of gardening content creation, evolving from the initial platform Tony's Allotment to UK Here We Grow, where the focus was on sharing gardening knowledge. In 2020, with the growing global popularity of his UK Here We Grow YouTube channel and realizing the need to better appeal to his expanding US market, Tony rebranded his social media channels and blog to Simplify Gardening. Tony's gardening journey started more than four decades ago with his grandfather and led him to pursue horticultural studies at the tender age of 16. His love of being of service led to his joining the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, where he rapidly progressed through the ranks. But his love for gardening was ever-present. Tony believes gardening's appeal is linked to nature's generous response to nurturing, proven by his growing near-record-sized cabbages (67 lbs [30.39kg]), squashes (131 lbs [59.42kg]), rhubarb, and potatoes in abundance. Winner of the 2021 Ezoic Publisher-of-the-Year Award for Educational Content
