I have been writing about gardening for 30 years for various magazines, national newspapers and websites and have written eight books and edited several more. Currently, I work freelance, but previously I was the Online Editor for the Royal Horticultural Society website, Gardening Editor of Garden News and Technical Editor of Garden Answers magazine. This fascinating talk (at least that's what people tell me!) looks into the role of a Gardening Editor, the processes by which magazines, websites and books are put together – and all the other things I get up to! This is an illustrated talk.

I am a freelance garden writer, writing for various national gardening magazines and websites – as well as lots more besides! Previously, I was the Web Editor for the Royal Horticultural Society, Gardening Editor of Garden News magazine and Technical Editor of Garden Answers magazine. I have written eight gardening books, with titles ranging from pruning and propagation to allotments and vegetable growing. I broadcast on the gardening programmes on both BBC Radio Cambridgeshire and BBC Essex. And I appear on Q&A panels at flower shows across the country and give lots of talks and demonstrations at garden centres and for gardening clubs. As well as "live" talks, I can also give my talks via group-organised Zoom meetings. My fee for this is £95.
