Maureen Little - author, writer, and speaker. thebeegarden co uk (dots in-between!)

I have been growing things, on and off, throughout my life. I say ‘on and off’ because there have been periods when I have strayed from the horticultural path to pursue things like serving in the Women’s Royal Naval Service, bringing up a family, lecturing in English Literature at University, and generally keeping out of mischief.

I started, though, knee-high to a grasshopper (or should it be bumblebee), helping my Dad on his market garden in Sussex – and, later in my career, after becoming a professional garden designer, and writing several books on gardening, I owned and ran my own plant centre specialising in bee-friendly plants.

I am now semi-retired which gives me more time to give talks and take up writing again.

I am a full member of the Garden Media Guild.
