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.
