About.


Established in 2015, as The Allotment Cook I am so proud to have worked collaboratively with a number of different gardening companies and broadcasters. I first appeared on BBC Radio Lincolnshire in 2018. From 2021 until 2023 I then featured as a weekly gardening expert on the station's Sunday Gardening Phone in Show, which included advice and special features and interviews from the gardening world. From November 2023 I now appear as a regular gardening expert on The Potting Shed every Wednesday. Working with Green Fingers Charity, as an ambassador since 2024, I have supported and promoted the vital work that they do by hosting on their show gardens at Gardeners World Live at the NEC- as well as RHS Wentworth Woodhouse. My most recent work has focused on specialist series in Amateur Gardening Magazine in 2025 and 2026. I was also really proud to include my gardening knowledge, community gardening passion with my presenting skills in Together TV's Sunflower Challenge. Advertising and promoting the challenge, as well as presenting in filming broadcast on the channel. 

I am proud to come from generations of kitchen gardeners and professional cooks. Tracing back my gardening heritage to the Royal Windsor Gardeners of my great, great grandparents. I am also proud of my affinity with my great grandfather, who was one of the very first and original professional chefs at The Dorchester in London. Combining my own passion for growing fruit and vegetables with cooking is a living joy of my own heritage. As a fully trained, qualified and experienced educator, I also have a real drive to share my knowledge with children and I have worked and designed gardening curriculums for schools. 

An advocate of community growing. I have worked as a chairperson for a local community project, which gained both RHS Bronze and Silver awards, I am a supporter of other community projects who work tirelessly to support communities through social therapeutic horticulture and engaging communities through gardening for wellbeing. I am also a Director for the Lincolnshire Gardens Trust supporting others to develop a love of our rich horticultural heritage whilst keeping an eye on developing future generations.
