After being a successful applicant to the Christine Ladley Awards in 2022, Laurel is currently on her travels around South East Asia and has been visiting and writing about gardens and plants in the region whilst on her journey to become a Garden Writer.
Whilst travelling she is also writing a blog about gardens she visits, with an emphasis on the history and design of the gardens and any specialisms they may have. She is also writing about other gardens that she visits, parks, general gardening ideas and anecdotes and thoughts about growing and the use of specific plants.
