He was the author of many publications and the instigator of many organisations and events, including the annual Britain in Bloom competition. Roy Hay, the son of gardener Thomas Hay, was born in 1910 on the estate of Lord Linlithgow, where his father managed the gardens.[1] In 1911 his father moved the family to Greenwich Park, one of the Royal Parks of London, where Thomas had obtained a post. The family later moved to Regent's Park and Hyde Park as Thomas progressed his career, eventually becoming Superintendent of the Royal Parks. In 1924 Roy Hay was taken to the Chelsea Flower Show for the first time, his father having arranged for Roy to miss school "to start his proper education". He attended every show from that point until his death. Roy passed up the opportunity to attend University and instead joined Watkins and Simpson, a wholesale seed company, working on the breeding side and taking pictures for the catalogue. He began to write short pieces to go with these photographs, and with this, his journalism career began.
