A horticulture superstar with over 63,000 followers on Twitter, has returned to his former college to talk about his career and inspire others.
Mr Perry, who is from Ipswich, studied at Suffolk Rural between 1996 and 1998 on a national diploma in horticulture.

He said: "It's always great to come back to the place where I used to study.
"I took real comfort in plants but it wasn't 'cool', so when I came to the college, I was surrounded by like-minded people and it really built up my confidence.
"I always look back on my time here fondly."
During his visit, he chatted to learners on the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) level two programme.
Mr Perry continued: "It was a pleasure to chat to the students. I hope to come back again soon."
Horticulture lecturer, Neville Stein, said: "We are so grateful to Michael for giving up his time to come and chat to us."
