About Fiona Fiona grew up in Britain, settling in Australia when she and her husband Bill were married in 1974. Fiona developed her love of gardening when she and Bill moved to the country in 1979. At first she found making a garden in an alien climate hard, but over the years she learned which plants would survive and flourish and gradually her garden developed in the vision she had dreamed of.
Wanting to share her painstakingly acquired knowledge, Fiona started writing a weekly column for The Land in August, 1995. It was an instant success and won her a wide readership among country gardeners in New South Wales. Fiona also writes the gardening column for Living magazine, and contributes regularly to other gardening publications.
Her book A Country Garden is the story of her life as a gardener and the garden she and Bill have made on their farm near Bathurst, NSW.
Fiona works as a Tour Leader for Renaissance Tours and will be taking tours to China and Scotland during 2011.
As well as gardening, writing and travelling Fiona loves visiting gardens in Australia and overseas, and hunting for unusual plants, in nurseries and in the wild.

Welcome to my Website! Welcome to my web page! It’s dedicated to people who love to garden and to read about gardens. This has been a wonderful year for the garden as we’ve had so much rain, which has made life much easier despite the extra weeding, not to mention my frequent absences taking garden tours to China and Bali.
After two successful tours to China and Bali in 2010, I'm taking another tour to China in 2011 with a different, longer itinerary and planning one to Scotland in July. I’m also hoping to fit in another mid-winter mini-break somewhere in South-East Asia - nice and warm, and not too long a flight - I’ll keep you posted!
