About me

I have always loved the language of flowers - from the Flower Fairies Alphabet that was on my wall that I recited each night before sleep as a child (Apple blossom, Bugle, Colombine, Double Daisy, Eyebright, Fuchsia, Gorse…) to my current passion for propagating pelargoniums and salvias.

​

I have the RHS Certificate in the Principles and Practice of Horticulture (Distinction) and am currently studying for the Level 3 Practical Certificate at Plumpton College.

​

I have worked in public and private gardens in and around Brighton and Lewes - including Great Dixter.
