Rosie Yeomans
Rosie has been teaching horticulture for many years and works
freelance writing for Gardeners' World Magasine, is a guest
panellist on BBC Radio 4's Gardeners' Question Time and a regular
on the BBC Radio Solent 'The Good Life Programme'. Rosie is a keen
allotment gardener and a National Collection Coordinator for the

My teaching using a combination of images in the classroom,
practical demonstrations on the allotment plot and a review of
seasonal crops in the main walled garden.
There is something deeply satisfying about growing plants and this
inspires me to garden as a hobby as well as a job. Even better is
growing and cooking the freshest crops straight from the
garden.
