The Garden Museum - In Your Garden

In March 2026, I was delighted to be invited by the Garden Museum to share the story of my own garden as part of its In Your Garden series.

For me, gardens have always been about more than how they look. Growing up in rural Kent, I developed a lasting sense of curiosity and wonder in the natural world. Returning to the county with my own family, I wanted to create a garden that captured some of that same spirit - a place to explore, play, discover and simply enjoy being outdoors.

Over time, the garden has come to mean much more. It has been a place of connection, creativity and escape, offering moments of calm and perspective through some of life's more challenging experiences. It's reinforced my belief that a garden's value extends far beyond its appearance, and that the spaces we create can have a profound influence on how we feel and the memories we make.

Sharing the story with the Garden Museum gave me a lovely opportunity to reflect on this, and on just how much a garden can give us.
