I am the Garden Editor at House & Garden UK, and have been a garden writer for nearly 20 years, having started my career at Gardens Illustrated magazine. My job involves visiting beautiful gardens, meeting garden designers and researching plants and products, and as a result I’m lucky enough to have a wealth of ideas at my fingertips. I love gardening as much as I love writing and since November 2017 I’ve been working on a new garden in Berkshire, where I have designed and planted a quarter of an acre around my cottage. I have written several garden books including The Flower Garden, How to Grow Flowers from Seed (1919). Read more about my books here.
