A huge welcome to my corner of the Garden Collective. A place of stillness, rest, thoughtfulness, and beauty in this frantic world.

The Garden Collective is a group of garden writers who came together to create a place where they could write freely about the parts of gardening they love most. Some write about design, some about herbs. There are pieces on design from Tom Stuart-Smith. Tips on colour from Ann-Marie Powell.

If you know anything at all about me, you'll know that what I write about is psychology. My pieces tend to go places others don't. The bits where your garden overwhelms you. Where you're resentful life keeps pulling you from it. When gardening is therapeutic, and when it's really not.

To read my pieces inside the Garden Collective, as well as essays from some of gardening's finest writers, you can follow us for free below.
