I’m a keen gardener and love to share my enthusiasm. I’ve written growing guides, gardening projects, garden reviews and flower arrangement ideas, and written about and photographed the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, for several outlets since 2007 (and exhibited my home-grown produce at an RHS show). I was also gardening editor at Hearst Magazines’ Allaboutyou.com (now closed) for seven years. My interest in design has also led to writing on interiors. Click on a link for the web page or PDF.
