I am a qualified and experienced horticulturist, floral designer, broadcaster and author, dedicated to fostering deeper connections between people, plants and the natural world. My work spans garden and floral design, copy writing, ghostwriting, public speaking and consultancy.

​

As the author of The Joy of Gardening and How to Grow a Garden, I combine practical horticultural expertise with an emphasis on the wellbeing benefits of engaging with nature. I am also the co-host of the award-winning The Plant Based Podcast and a contributor online along with television and radio in both the UK and USA.

​

I am a columist as a horticulture and wellness expert, copywriter for brands and content creator, supporting audiences and brands in communicating the value of plants and gardening in everyday life. I regularly deliver talks, workshops and keynote presentations at major flower shows, international events and corporate engagements, focusing on horticulture, sustainability and the relationship between nature and physical and mental wellbeing.

​

My professional background includes designing gardens and working as a gardener for private clients, in addition to founding and running my own flower farm and floral design studio, Queen & Fine.

​

My work and expertise have been featured by WCNC (USA), BBC Countryfile Diaries, BBC News, and Mustard TV, as well as in publications including The Times, The Express and The Telegraph. I have collaborated with the Royal Horticultural Society and regularly speak at leading horticultural events including RHS Chelsea Flower Show, RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival, RHS Flower Show Tatton Park, BBC Gardeners’ World Live, GROW Scotland, and BLOOM Dublin along with many more over the years.

​

Earlier in my career, I hosted one of the UK’s first community gardening radio programmes 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 as a member of the advisory council for the historic Elizabeth Lawrence House and Garden in North Carolina. My wider work with organisations and community initiatives has included curating the horticultural area at the Royal Norfolk Show, contributing to National Lottery-funded gardening and community projects and I've served on the board of Anglia in Bloom.

Plants are not simply my profession, but a central part of how I live and work. I am a true plant addict!
