How the Japanese view gardens, the very different types (no, they're not just monochrome green with gravel!), the history behind some of them, amazing events that take place in them and some of the techniques employed to keep them looking like the works of art they undoubtedly are.

I worked in the fields of chemistry, telecommunications and finance before becoming a freelance journalist. I am fascinated by the wonder of plants which I see as quite separate from gardening (although I am actually a very keen and passionate gardener).
Travel is also high on my list of likes and my talks, which are very varied, are based on all of this together with equal interests in both the sciences and the arts, membership of an excellent art society and garden club and always topped up by the written word.
My website, nancystevens.co.uk gives details of all my talks, some of which can be tailored to particular events.
and in case you're wondering, given that I live in a Glasgow postcode, no, I don't talk Glaswegian!
