Niamh Collins

Niamh is the senior gardening content writer at The English Garden magazine. She cares for a countryside cottage garden; her pride and joy is her thriving vegetable greenhouse, where any guests are forced to inspect how tall the tomatoes have grown since their last visit, and her, in her own words, ‘dazzling peony border’ (a fleeting but majestic sight when early summer arrives). She hasn’t let her hayfever deter her from being an avid cut flower grower, a subject she adores writing about, along with crafting sumptuous shopping pages where she hunts with splendour for the most beautifully crafted garden furniture, florist baskets, or garden tools to share with the magazine’s readers. Exploring the most jaw-dropping gardens the length and breadth of the UK, many of her pieces aim to help you get the look in your own garden.
