Pippa Greenwood

Pippa is well known to everyone interested in gardening through her work on television and radio and as a journalist.

Pippa is a regular presenter on the BBC's Gardeners' World and a panel member of BBC Radio 4's Gardeners' Question Time. Pippa also contributes regularly to BBC Gardeners' World magazine, Amateur Gardening, and the Mirror. Until recently she was Chief Plant Pathologist at the Royal Horticultural Society's garden in Wisley.

Pippa is the author of some of DK's bestselling gardening books including The New Gardener, The Ultimate Book of Gardening Hints & Tips and Flower Gardener which won a Garden Writers Guild award in 1998 . Pippa is also the co-author of the award-winning RHS Pests & Diseases which won the same prize the previous year. Her most recent book is Pippa's Organic Kitchen Garden which records the creation of her kitchen garden from an unpromising patch of land.

Now that the kitchen garden is established, Pippa is developing a "mini arboretum" of trees with personal and family significance. In the Autumn she'll be planting native base hedging of hawthorn, blackthorn, wild rose and guelder rose on the perimeter between the arboretum and the rest of the garden. Pippa lives in Hampshire with her partner, 2 young children, a cat, some geese and some ducks.
