She gives talks and  leads tours of the gardens and  lectures in horticulture and Garden Design for The Beth Chatto Education Trust. She transfers her love of colour, form and texture into her handthrown stoneware experimenting with contemporary coloured mainly shiny glazes incorporating glass to add extra sparkle.
