Garden writing
“It’s not just about getting my hands in the soil. Writing about herb gardening, sustainable gardening techniques and those fascinating stories behind herbs is my profession and my passion.”
Lynne from Kailyard Herbs
My Approach
As well as running a gardening and herb business, Lynne is a freelance writer. Not only do I write for my own blogs, but I am also commissioned to write articles for other organisations.
What I mostly write about:
sustainable gardening techniques
herb and kitchen gardening
community projects
traditional crafts
horticulture, craft, social justice and environmental careers.
My freelance and personal writing:
Kailyard Herbs herb gardens and herb gardening blogs
Papaver Gardening blog
Articles for the POP shop’s blog
Article for Dunoon Community Development Trust
Articles on careers in horticulture and conservation for the Environment Job blog (which has since closed)
Herbal passion
Through growing, cooking or making with herbs, and researching, we learn lots about how our lives and connections with nature have evolved over the years.
Gardens and food
Working with what you have, growing herbs and food in small spaces like your kailyard, a veg patch.
Sharing
In my previous work as an in-house communications professional, rather than freelance, I edited publications, wrote articles and crafted content for print and digital. Some of those companies I’ve produced content for include Argyll Countryside Trust, Little Sparta, University of Glasgow, Caledonian MacBrayne, Scottish Youth Hostel Association (Hostelling Scotland) and more.
