Julianne Robertson

I’m an writer, content creator and gardener with 20+ years of experience in journalism and communications and a passion for the natural world.

I love to use words, images, audio and plants to encourage people to consider the world around them, helping them engage with nature and improve their mental and spiritual wellbeing.

writing

Skilled at writing magazine features, branded content and copywriting for all kinds of media; specialising in gardening, nature, sustainable living and wellbeing.

My work has featured in a range of print and online titles, including: The Guardian, The People’s Friend, My Weekly, Platinum, Scotland Grows, Country Smallholding and local newspapers.

Over the years I’ve built up a strong network of relationships with editors, journalists, bloggers, podcasters and influencers, and I’m a member of the Garden Media Guild.

content

I’m a keen amateur photographer and I enjoy creating images, reels and videos, and sharing knowledge and ideas with the gardening community on Instagram @juliannegrows.

I love to share tips and ideas, or review useful products; I’ve partnered with organisations such as Scottish Water, creating content for their campaign promoting water conservation and biodiversity.

podcasting

I was an early adopter of podcasting, beginning way back in 2009 when I worked with Feisty Productions. I became hooked as a listener as the popularity of podcasts began to grow, and in 2019 I created the first podcast for the Scottish gardening community, The Scottish Garden Podcast.

I can provide support with strategy, training and hands-on help to get your first episodes recorded, edited, produced and promoted.

gardening

I’m qualified in horticulture (RHS Level 2) and owner of The Secret Garden micro-nursery, raising a variety of hardy perennial plants suitable for the Scottish climate. I also offer garden consultancy and planting advice to customers in Dundee and the surrounding area.

Who do I work with?

I collaborate with brands and businesses to support the communication of their key messages and values.

I provide support to corporates, charities and small businesses across a range of industries including transport, water, horticulture and agriculture. Experience of working with global corporations and international media companies, as well as public sector, charities and independent businesses means I know how to speak your language.
