Lucy Summers garden expert nature writer

Welcome. I’m Lucy and I’ve spent my career surrounded by beautiful plants, inspiring landscapes, and believe gardens and nature is for everyone. Even those of you who have killed a cactus. (It happens. We don’t judge.)

I’m the author of The Power of Plants and the Greenfingers Guides, which I’m delighted to say so many of you have taken to your hearts. It was great to be named Garden Journalist of the Year by the Garden Media Guild and my book Border Plants was shortlisted for Reference Book of the Year in 2011.

Powered by curiosity, chlorophyll and tea, I’m a passionate advocate of the power of nature. My career has taken many turns: from waitressing in my teens, fashion modelling, landscape and floral design. A professional horticulturalist, and Chelsea gold landscape designer, I’ve created numerous enchanting gardens, and naturally plants have played a leading role. Coupled with TV broadcasting, journalism and creativity, nature remains at the heart of everything I do.

Rewild Yourself: A Guided Journal Powered by Nature

Rewild guided journal gift for women

I wrote Rewild Yourself because I needed it too, if I’m honest. Life gets so busy and so screen-heavy that it’s easy to forget how much better we feel after time outside, whether that’s a woodland wander, a walk by the water or just standing in the garden with a cup of tea. This journal is my way of nudging you back out there. Each day there’s a simple prompt to get you noticing, reflecting and reconnecting with the natural world (and with yourself). No wilderness or fancy kit required, and it only takes a few minutes a day, just a pen, a bit of curiosity and a willingness to step outside.

Coming soon to Amazon. Follow me on X and Instagram for release news!

The Power of Plants by Lucy Summers

Nice things clients have said...

Lucy is a very driven lady and she has been a joy to work with, whilst always keeping me in the best of moods. At times it was almost impossible, especially when I had so much on my mind and I needed to switch off in order to focus on the book. Lucy did a very good job in having immense patience and understanding when working with a dyslexic and sometimes moody person; you have to be very good at choosing the right moments and then giving huge amounts of encouragement which is why we have now successfully finished this book. Lucy, I cannot begin to thank you enough for all of your patience as well as your sense of humour as without it, I would not have produced this, my second book.
