Simon Akeroyd is the author of instant Sunday Times bestseller Grow Your Groceries and has written over 30 gardening books. In 2022 he started a TikTok account dedicated to non-gardeners. His aim was to show just how easy - and fun - growing plants can be, and that it's always worth having a go. He's enjoyed huge engagement and has since expanded to Facebook and Instagram, inspiring more two million followers on social media. Simon was previously Garden Manager for both the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and National Trust in the UK, managing high-profile gardens including Agatha Christie's Greenway. In his spare time Simon loves canoeing on the River Dart or exploring Dartmoor (and usually getting lost).
