Worked as a gardener from the age of sixteen & was associated with nurseries at Stockwell, Fulham and Chelsea. In 1812 he joined Colvills, the famous Chelsea nursery, and was elected a fellow of the Linnaen Society.
He published a number of beautifully illustrated works, with the fine plates mainly drawn by Edwin Dalton Smith (1800-1883) a Botanical artist, attached to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
