George Farmer is a British aquascaping expert.[1][2][3]

Farmer served as a Royal Air Force bomb disposal officer. After serving in Afghanistan, he suffered from PTSD and found that aquascaping helped him. He says that for him, "a well-aquascaped aquarium is the most therapeutic thing you can look at."[4][1] He started aquascaping in 2002 and made it his career.[2]

Farmer started a YouTube channel for aquascaping enthusiasts, which as of 2018 had 20 000 subscribers, rising to 200 000 as of 2023. He has been a columnist for the aquarium magazine Practical Fishkeeping for more than 10 years. In 2007 he co-founded the UK Aquatic Plants Society, which as of 2018 had 25 000 members.[1][5]

He is married with 3 children.[6]
