She writes as “The Garden Goddess” in the Property Today supplement of The Newsletter and has made several radio and television appearances. Qualified in horticulture and design, she believes it is important to be able to view a garden from a designer’s perspective, and the design from a plantswoman’s perspective: it is imperative to understand the habit of plants, knowing how they will look throughout the year, and how they will relate to the rest of the garden.
