About Me

After many years in accountancy and starting a family I felt the need for a change of career. For as long as I can remember I have always loved gardening, cooking and craft activities and for the last 7 years have been very interested in the versatility of Herbs; how they can be used in all of the aforementioned pastimes. I joined the Herb Society and also the Hertfordshire Herb Group in the year 2000 after completing a one year course on herbs at the the Horticultural Correspondence College.

My main aim in creating 'Mad About Herbs' is to provide useful information for those of you wanting to find out more about how to grow herbs and use them in cooking, to enhance your health and lots of other wonderful and creative ways.

I have attended various courses and workshops but often had to search around a lot on the internet to find out where and when a suitable course was taking place so have created an Events page on my main website at http://www.madaboutherbs.co.uk which I hope you will find useful. If you would like your event added to the listing please contact me.

I attend a few fairs in the spring and summer where I sell some of the more unusual herb plants. To be kept up to date on when these are click on the envelope image on the website or blog to receive a free monthly newsletter plus a copy of a free report '7 Everyday Herbs Made Simple' which gives culinary uses for 7 easily available herbs plus their reported health benefits.

I hope you enjoy the sites.

Happy Herbing!
