About me

I am an experienced horticulturist and floral designer, dedicated to inspiring deeper connections between people, plants, and the natural world. My work spans broadcasting, writing, public speaking, and garden design, all rooted in a passion for sustainable, plant-based living.

​

As the author of The Joy of Gardening and How to Grow a Garden, I share practical knowledge alongside the wellbeing benefits of working with nature. I am also the co-host of the award-winning The Plant Based Podcast, and a regular broadcaster across TV and radio in both the UK and USA.

​

I contribute as a horticulture and wellness columnist, copywriter, and content creator, helping audiences and brands communicate the value of plants in everyday life. Alongside this, I deliver talks and workshops at major shows, international events, and corporate settings, focusing on gardening, sustainability, and the powerful link between nature and physical and mental wellbeing.

​

My professional experience includes designing gardens and working as a gardener for private clients, as well as running my own flower farm and floral design studio, Queen & Fine.

​

I have been featured on outlets including WCNC (USA), BBC Countryfile Diaries, BBC News, and Mustard TV, and in publications such as The Times, The Express, and The Telegraph. I have also collaborated with the Royal Horticultural Society and regularly speak at leading events including RHS Chelsea, Hampton Court, Tatton Park, BBC Gardeners’ World Live, GROW Scotland, BLOOM Dublin, and more.

​

Earlier in my career, I hosted one of the UK’s first community gardening radio shows on Future Radio for three years, and co-presented the first live-streamed horticultural game show.

​

I am proud to serve as an Ambassador for Trees for the Future and sit on the advisory council for the historic Elizabeth Lawrence House & Garden in North Carolina. My work with organisations has focused on connecting communities with plants, including curating the horticultural area at the Royal Norfolk Show, contributing to projects funded by The National Lottery, and serving on the board of Anglia in Bloom.

​

My personal gardening philosophy is rooted in no-dig and veganic principles, reflecting my fully plant-based lifestyle—where plants are not just my work, but my way of life.
