With 3 small children and a move to North Berwick, Susie has been able to revisit her love of gardening and garden design. She is currently undertaking a voluntary gardening apprenticeship at Greywalls, writes a gardening feature on blogweeslice.com and regularly uploads picture and vlogs from her @The_Lady_Gardener Instagram page.

Having designed several gardens from scratch and carried out all aspects of project management, she is pursuing her love of garden design having started her own EL garden design and planting planning business “The Lady Gardener”.

My love of gardening properly kicked off in my late 20s, when I entered the Stockbridge Colonies garden competition and won “Most Improved Garden” I was delighted. I had never won anything before and for the first time I realised I had a hobby that I was actually quite good at.
