I love sharing information and have written for online publishers, magazines and newspapers for over twenty five years with a focus on nature and gardening.
With a regular column on The Telegraph from 2018 – present and contributing to The Guardian, The Independent, BBC Gardeners’ World, RHS The Garden, Gardens Illustrated, House & Garden, Garden News, Rakes Progress, Plant Heritage and many others around the world.
In 2019 I released my first gardening book Wild about Weeds: Garden Design with Rebel Plants, followed by RHS The Gardener’s Book of Patterns in 2020.
Back in the day I wrote for the music and children’s TV sectors (at one point Basil Brush was my boss!), then moved on to digital technology and later education.
