I am a News Writer in the Gardens team at homesandgardens.com with five years of journalistic experience. I studied BA Journalism, Media and English Literature and MA Magazine Journalism at Cardiff University. During my studies, I focused on sustainable lifestyle content, with experience such as interning at pebblemag.com. Before coming to Homes & Gardens, I was in the editorial department at the Royal Horticultural Society and worked on The Garden magazine. I'm passionate about sustainable living and like to encourage gardeners to make greener choices to help tackle the effects of climate change with a trowel in hand. I'm also a houseplant lover slowly running out of room for my ever-growing collection.
