I have been fortunate enough to have been involved with a few television programmes, especially a hour long BBC 2 ‘Gardeners’ World’ broadcast on the restoration of Audley End Kitchen Garden and ‘The Great British Food Revival’. I have made contributions to various gardening magazines including ‘Grow It’, ‘Grow Your Own, ‘You magazine’ and ‘Gardens Illustrated’ and also written a Teach Yourself book; ‘Grow Your Own Fruit and Vegetables’. As well as a collaboration on the ‘Organic Kitchen Garden’. I have also enjoyed sharing a few hours with Ken Crowther on his highly popular BBC Radio Essex gardening programme and I also contribute to the Organic Gardening programme on World Radio Gardening an internet radio station.
