Fiona Pearson

Chairman (joint)

My love of gardening stems from growing up in Scotland where nature diaries, bird watching and being outside were essential elements of life.

My father-in-law James Pearson, a dedicated and passionate gardener played a significant part in rekindling my nascent interest in gardening. On moving from London he gave me a greenhouse and I have never looked back. I am not a plantswoman as such and I have never done a ‘gardening course’, I am simply a passionate amateur gardener who breaks the rules and quite often gets away with it! 

My greenhouse and garden are my sanctuary and sanity. To my joy my son is now gardening and I am lining up the grandchildren too.

The EAGG is a wonderful amalgam of friendship and knowledge with visits and talks. I hope that my enthusiasm for EAGG and what it does will help to ensure its continued success.
