Teresa has been creating and curating gardening content for over 7 years over which time she has acted as Gardens Editor on some of the UK's top Homes magazine including Homes & Gardens, Living Etc and Ideal Home. She served on the judging panel of the prestigious Society of Garden Designers Awards in 2020 and 2022.
She has established close working relationships with top garden designers, and has been exposed to an array of rich garden content and expertise. Teresa is passionate about the positive effects gardens have on our mental health as well as how landscaped spaces have the ability to transform communities. She also finds it to be a wonderful opportunity to tap into our creative sides and believes garden design has just as much a place in our love of home as interior design does. She currently tends her own mid-sized town garden in North London where her latest project involved ditching her thirsty lawn and sowing creeping thyme and clover as drought resistance coverage instead.
