Biography

I am a veteran author, journalist and editor who started my career in the early 1980s writing reviews for the Glasgow Herald when I was an undergraduate at St Andrews University. During the 1980s I was on the staff of leading glossy magazines and wrote freelance (including writing about gardens for Homes & Gardens) for leading publications such as the Independent and the Evening Standard, when they were print publications you had to pay for. During the 1990s I wrote books on design while raising three children. From the early 2000s onwards I wrote for TOPIARIUS, the journal of the European Boxwood and Topiary Society and in 2022 was appointed Editor. Since then I’ve written extensively about gardens in France and the UK as well as commissioning news and features about gardens across Europe and the world.

Additional Interests

My photographs of gardens have been published in TOPIARIUS regularly in the 20 years during which I've been a contributor, and since becoming Editor in 2022 have constituted a large proportion of the images in the magazine.
