Talking plants and gardening makes Chloe Thomson happy. Her backyard is her sanctuary - a place to grow food, watch flowers bloom and enjoy getting her hands dirty. Chloe is horticulturist who’s passionate about getting more people gardening!

Chloe’s roles in the gardening and horticulture industry have been wide and varied - fresh out of uni she worked for the strawberry industry and part of her job included tasting mountains of strawberries for the breeding program! She’s worked in sales and communications roles for several popular gardening brands and given talks and presentations to a huge range of audiences.
