I specialise in natural history, gardening, the environment and nature writing. I’m a Guardian Country Diarist and have contributed to the forthcoming Women on Nature anthology edited by Katharine Norbury, published in May 2021. 

I am currently working on wildlife features for Gardeners’ World Magazine and I contribute comment articles, plant profiles and book reviews to the RHS The Garden magazine.

I’ve written for The English Garden about an inspiring cottage garden in Letchworth Garden City and I write regularly for Ashridge Nurseries and the Candide Gardening App, covering nature and gardening topics such as peat-free compost, the Great British Wildflower Hunt and biodiversity in the garden.

I am writing a book exploring the natural and social history of the local landscape – an ecology of walking, observing and belonging.
