writer | podcaster | PR & media consultant

specialising in horticulture, nature and wellbeing

I’ve been working in journalism and communications for 20+ years and I’m an RHS Level 2 qualified gardener.

With corporate and freelance experience across a range of industries, including radio, transport, water, media and publishing, I’m well placed to support horticultural and nature-based businesses with advice and action to help them thrive.

If you’re looking for support and guidance, whether it’s content creation, social media strategy or setting up a podcast, I have the skills and experience to help.


I’m an experienced freelance journalist, with a special interest in gardening, nature and lifestyle topics.

I’ve written features for a number of publications, including Platinum, Country Smallholding, Garden Answers and local newspaper The Courier.


The Scottish Garden Podcast is a podcast for plant lovers who want to know more about the gardens and growers of Scotland.

I venture into Scottish gardens, nurseries and horticultural events, meeting interesting people and plants along the way.

in April 2021, my show explores whatโ€™s special about Scotland’s gardens and gardeners.

The Scottish Garden Podcast was a finalist in the Garden Media Guild Awards 2019 (Alan Titchmarsh New Talent Award and selected as The Times’ Podcast of the Week in April 2021.


A keen amateur photographer, I enjoy taking photos of my own plants and flowers, as well as capturing gardens I’m visiting.

Many of my images have been published alongside my feature articles – and the photo here was selected for Amateur Photography’s Photo of the Week pages.
