Scotland Grows Show S3 E3: From Beginner to YouTube Gardener with Eli Appleby-Donald

Eli Appleby-Donald, one half of 'In the Garden With Eli and Kate', shares her incredible gardening journey that began with a simple desire for outdoor space and grew into a passionate affair with growing food and connecting with a global audience.

 

Eli tends an urban garden in East Lothian which she has managed to make beautiful and productive. She considers herself a perpetual learner gardener, and has spent the last 11 years learning by experience, success, and failure.

 

Eli is a digital education guru for a local university by day, and she regularly blogs and vlogs about gardening on YouTube where she has hundreds of videos all about her gardening journey and her top tips.

You may also know her as a Scotland Grows magazine columnist, and you can find out more about Eli and all the fun of creating her suburban garden paradise on either her YouTube channel, website or Instagram.
