Flora Baker

Flora Baker is a freelance writer and author writing for a range of publications including The Independent, The Telegraph and National Geographic. After working in travel for a decade, she segued to home, lifestyle and outdoor content during the pandemic and has loved going in this new direction. She's spent much of the last few years as a keen amateur gardener: honing her houseplant propagation skills, growing vegetables in buckets, and starting up a compost bin. Her outdoor space is luxurious for London – she has a nice narrow slice of tall grass with plenty of buddleia, roses and forsythia, along with the occasional ash tree sneaking its way in and some blackberry bushes fighting for dominance. She's grown to adore the meditative process of pruning back the wilder parts, and always keeps an eye out for a new DIY garden project.
