GEORGINA REID

The garden designer and editor of popular online magazine The Planthunter is now the face behind In the Garden on page 87. Our new contributor believes she has an inherited love of plants and gardening. “Mum is a horticulturalist and my grandmother was an excellent gardener. I guess it’s in my blood,” says Georgina, who spent her childhood on a farm near Molong, north-west of Orange, NSW. “Growing up connected to the earth is a gift I am incredibly grateful for,” she says. After initially pursuing a career in journalism, Georgina decided to follow her heart and enrolled in a horticulture and landscape design course. Then, in 2013, she launched her online magazine, The Planthunter. “I really love plants, so having a job that’s entirely based around them is wonderful. I can’t think of anything else I’d rather be doing.”
