Vanessa Drew

Vanessa is passionate about gardening and self-sufficiency. She currently has two greenhouses, five beehives, six chickens and a cat. “Gardening is all about trial and error,” says Vanessa, “so if you want to know how to get started, just buy yourself a packet of seeds and start.” She runs simple gardening courses which encompass the basics and take the mystery out of it all. “It’s great fun and a lovely way to get some exercise and fresh air.” If you would like some more information about having your garden designed or learning some new gardening skills, contact Vanessa: or leave a comment here.
