I started a new full time writing role at Grow Your Own Magazine in January 2021. I’m delighted to have found a new writing position in such a thriving industry, especially given the current strain on the jobs market.

Interest in gardening skyrocketed across the UK during 2020 and into 2021 – largely thanks to Covid lockdowns. Homebase recorded a remarkable 308% increase in searches for garden furniture on its website, showing that Brits are more eager than ever to get to work in their gardens. It’s a fantastic time to get involved with the horticulture industry and it’s satisfying to be contributing to a magazine that helps people to get closer to nature.
