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.
