Gardening with Herbs

Caroline is a past Chairman of the Herb Society, Liveryman in the Worshipful Company of Gardeners and member of the Garden Writers' Guild.  She has published many books on herbs and directed many courses in the UK and overseas.  Her garden design expertise is extensive and she is currently researching and devising the planting in the 'Poisons Garden' for the second phase of the Alnwick Walled Garden Project in Northumberland.  She is also a well-known broadcaster.

Lynne first became interested in herbs in her teens while living in the Australia.  She came back to live in England in her mid 20s and went through various jobs while continuing to grow and study herbs and wild plants.  When her children were small she began growing a few herbs to sell and her little herb business grew of it's own accord.

Sue's distinguished career has included being Supervisor of the Palm House during its restoration in the 1980s, Curator at the Chelsea Physic Garden from 1991-2001 and Horticultural Director of the Eden Project from 2001-6.  She has published a number of books.

Barty Phillips is a well-known and respected gardens and interior-design writer who edited our Herbs magazine from 2000 to 2005 and still contributes to the magazine. She was design correspondent of the Observer newspaper for 15 years and author of over 30 books on the home and the garden. She often appears on TV discussing design.
