Alchemy Gardens

I left university with a History of Art degree under my belt and my first job was in the news department of the BBC in London. I loved the people there but knew it wasn't my passion. Casting around for ideas I realised that I adored flowers but knew nothing about growing them! However I was sure I wanted to do something connected with plants and I was drawn to garden design so I decided to take the professional diploma course at Merrist Wood and I have never looked back!

After moving to Bath I was able to spend a fantastic year learning how to garden under the best ever Head Gardener at a small estate in Wiltshire through the WRAGS scheme. Nearly 20 years later I am delighted to be able to help out at the Women's Farm and Garden Association - the charity which runs the WRAGS scheme. I work with a great bunch of people and get to see some gorgeous gardens!
