Pippa Greenwood trained as a botanist at Durham University (BSc hons) and then gained an MSc in Crop Protection at Reading University. In 1985 she joined the staff of The Royal Horticultural Society at their garden in Wisley, Surrey, where she ran their garden advice desk – answering several thousand written/telephone queries from gardeners.
In 1988 Pippa commenced working for the BBC. Initially she appeared in “Reflections of Gold” on BBC, transmitted during the Chelsea Flower Show week and following this programme she was invited to appear on BBC1’s Daytime Live with Alan Titchmarsh presenting the Friday gardening spot.
Since 1989, Pippa has been one of the regular presenters on BBC2’s Gardeners’ World – presenting items on a wide range of subjects including plant problems, pests and diseases, mini-trials of gardening techniques/products and regularly presenting items from her own Organic Kitchen Garden in Hampshire.
Pippa is a regular panellist on BBC Radio 4’s Gardeners’ Question Time and in 2000 presented a series called Growing Science along with her own mini series of radio programmes called Pippa’s Pests. She has also guested on a number of television programmes including This Morning, GMTV, Call my Bluff, Grass Roots, Tomorrow’s World, You and Yours, Breakaway and Woman’s Hour.
Regular writing commitments keep Pippa very busy. She writes for the BBC Gardeners’ World and Amateur Gardening Magazine and is Gardening Correspondent for The Mirror newspaper. Up until 2000 Pippa was the Gardening Editor/writer for Ideal Home Magazine and columnist for BeMe.com - the women’s lifestyle website.
In Autumn 2000, Orion published Gardeners’ Question Time of which Pippa was co-author. Later this year Pippa’s latest book, Garden Problem Solver, will be published by Dorling Kindersley. Her other books include The New Gardener, Gardening Hints and Tips, Pests and Diseases-which won the 1997 Garden Writers Guild Award for Best Reference book, Pippa Greenwoods’ Flower Gardener-awarded the Gardening Reference book of the year in the 1988 Garden Writers Guild Awards, 101 Gardening Hints and Tips, and Pippa’s Organic Kitchen Garden
In the little spare time that Pippa has, she hosts conferences all over the country giving gardening advice and she also travels the world hosting gardening cruises.
Pippa actively supports many charities, but most of her time is spent assisting HART Wildlife Rescue Centre, Toxoplasmosis Trust, Child Line and League Against Cruel Sports with their fundraising events.
