My journey with gardening began in childhood with my dear mum; today, it has evolved into a vital therapy and a source of immense joy. After years in the fast-paced world of photography and styling, I’ve decided to embrace my inner phytophile (a very fancy word for plant lover!) and follow my heart by making gardening my full-time work.

I’ve spent the last four years immersed in the magic of TWIGS - a therapeutic garden sanctuary in Swindon that continues to inspire me. In 2022, I re-launched Swindon Growers and established our annual Swindon Growers Summit. Since then, we’ve been honoured to host keynote speakers such as Ben Raskin, Head of Horticulture and Agroforestry at the Soil Association, and soil expert Eddie Bailey from RhizoPhyllia, whose legendary compost-testing station allows growers to see the hidden life in their soil under a microscope.

I lead a children’s after-school gardening club through the Swindon Schools Grow Together project and am also a proud contributor to the South Swindon in Bloom campaign, which recently achieved a remarkable "hat-trick" with its third consecutive Gold Award.

This new venture is a big leap for me, and I’m deeply grateful for the kindness and encouragement of this community. I can't wait to share this journey with you, one little plant at a time.

Warning: Attendance may lead to a serious plant obsession and a very full windowsill!
