Speaker Sally Nex
Sally started growing her own veg over 20 years ago with a few bean plants in a city garden, just to see if she could. After running out of space in the garden, she graduated to an allotment.
Sally now gardens an acre of windy hillside in Somerset, where she is gradually winning the battle of the brambles to carve out a large and slightly unruly kitchen garden.
She studied horticulture and design at Capel Manor College in London and Bicton College in Devon, and also writes extensively about all things to do with gardening, though mostly about growing things you can eat. She has regular slots in Gardeners’ World magazine, The Garden, Grow Your Own magazine, and The Guardian.
