Lucy Chamberlain has been cultivating edible produce since her teenage years, after being raised on her family’s smallholding in Essex. She now grows more than 150 varieties of fruits, vegetables, and herbs year-round in her modern kitchen edible garden. Lucy has worked as Head Gardener at East Donyland Hall in Essex – an 85-acre estate with a walled kitchen garden; as Editor of Grow Your Own magazine; and at RHS Garden Wisley. She co-hosts the podcast Talking Heads, authored RHS Step-by-Step Veg Patch (DK, 2012), and in 2023 won the award for Best Showcase Garden after co-designing a kitchen garden for the Gardeners’ World Autumn Fair.
