Julianne Robertson

I’m a writer and creative communications consultant specialising in garden media. I help businesses, charities and individuals share stories that spark connection and encourage people to engage with the natural world.

writing

magazine features & online content

Skilled at writing magazine features, branded content and copywriting for all kinds of media; specialising in gardening, nature, sustainable living and wellbeing.

My work has featured in a range of print and online titles, including: The Guardian, The People’s Friend, My Weekly, Platinum, Scotland Grows, Country Smallholding and local newspapers.

Over the years I’ve built up a strong network of relationships with editors, journalists, bloggers, podcasters and influencers, and I’m a member of the Garden Media Guild.

books

I am the author of Orchids: How To Keep This Alive, published by August Books. The second book in the series, Succulents is due for publication in June 2026.

This series is a friendly guide to abolishing horticultural genocide, one pot at a time, giving you the confidence and encouragement you need to master the basics and enjoy your houseplants.

Whether you have green fingers or consider yourself a convicted plant killer, we’re here to cut through the noise and give you exactly what you need to keep your plant happy, healthy and continually blooming. All you need is patience, persistence and a few simple rules to follow.

social content & strategy

I’m a keen amateur photographer and I enjoy creating images, reels and videos, and sharing knowledge and ideas with the gardening community on Instagram @juliannegrows.

I love to share tips and ideas, or review useful products; I’ve partnered with organisations such as Scottish Water, creating content for their campaign promoting water conservation and biodiversity.

podcasting

I was an early adopter of podcasting, beginning way back in 2009 when I worked with Feisty Productions. I became hooked as a listener as the popularity of podcasts began to grow, and in 2019 I created the first podcast for the Scottish gardening community, The Scottish Garden Podcast.

I can provide support with strategy, training and hands-on help to get your first episodes recorded, edited, produced and promoted.

gardening

I’m qualified in horticulture (RHS Level 2) and passionate about plants. I grow flowers, fruit and veg in raised beds, I raise plants in my greenhouse, keep a flock of hens and I’m gradually redesigning and rewilding my garden so it’s more sustainable and wildlife friendly.

Who do I work with?

I collaborate with brands and businesses to support the communication of their key messages and values.

I produce bespoke writing projects, copy and content for corporates, charities and small businesses across a range of industries including transport, water, horticulture and agriculture. Experience of working with global corporations and international media companies, as well as public sector, charities and independent businesses means I know how to speak your language.

Recent and current clients include: The Eden Project, V&A Dundee, Scottish Water, Guardian Labs, Transform Scotland, EMED Group, Smallholding Scotland, Genus Gardenwear.
