Kayleigh is an enthusiastic (sometimes too enthusiastic!) gardener and has worked in media for over a decade. She previously served as digital editor at Stylist magazine, and has written extensively for Ideal Home , Woman & Home , Homes & Gardens , and a handful of other titles. Kayleigh is passionate about wildlife-friendly gardening, and recently cancelled her weekend plans to build a mini pond when her toddler found a frog living in their water barrel. As such, her garden – designed around the stunning magnolia tree at its centre – is filled to the brim with pollinator-friendly blooms, homemade bird feeders, and old logs for insects to nest in.

Tyler’s passion began with indoor gardening and deepened as he studied plant-fungi interactions in controlled settings. With a microbiology background focused on fungi, he’s spent over a decade solving tough and intricate gardening problems. After spinal injuries and brain surgery, Tyler’s approach to gardening changed. It became less about the hobby and more about recovery and adapting to physical limits. His growing success shows that disability doesn’t have to stop you from your goals.
