Jenny Hendy is first and foremost a garden lover with a passion for enthusing others. She is the author of many gardening books on a wide range of subjects from topiary to container gardening and garden construction, although planting and design have always been her speciality. Jenny’s fascination for plants and wildlife brought her into contact with gardening at a very early age. She later went on to gain an Honours degree in Classical Botany. After having worked for one of Britain’s leading gardening magazines, Jenny opted for a freelance career and soon after became editor of the European Topiary Society’s journal, Topiarius. In addition to being an author, lecturer and TV guest presenter, Jenny’s interest in garden design has developed into a thriving consultancy. She won the Garden Media Guild Award in 2010 for the Practical Book of the Year.
