About me

I am the Garden Editor of House & Garden Magazine, UK, and prior to this was Editor of Gardens Illustrated. I am so lucky to be immersed in a world that I love, visiting gardens, meeting nursery owners, garden designers and garden owners, all of whom are united in their love of creating gardens. I’m also a passionate gardener myself, with a third of an acre cottage garden in the south of England where I have a gravel garden, a kitchen garden, herbaceous borders, two dogs and three chickens.

I will be posting every weekend to let you know what I’m up to, where I have been and who I have met, which plants I have come across, and the design ideas I have stolen along the way. Free subscribers will get a timely reminder of all the jobs you should be doing in your own garden at the beginning of each month based on what I’m doing in my own garden.

Be part of a community of people who share your interests. Join the garden debate, whether it is to offer your views on your favourite dahlia or to work out ways we can collectively make a difference to the climate crisis. I have found gardeners to be the most lovely bunch of people, happy to share knowledge, skills and ideas, and I look forward to passing on this information to you and meeting many more garden-lovers on this platform.
