Garden design gave him his voice in the media but it is a start point for much more. Danny’s integrity, values and energy extend to every part of his life – what he wears, what he eats, how he lives and how he chooses to spend his time.
Danny Clarke is a cultured and engaging ‘personality’ with a gritty ‘real life’ urban edge and could present anything with equal charisma and authenticity: sustainability, community, diversity, through to music, design and fashion.
