Teresa Conway
Teresa was part of a team that launched Easy Gardens in 2018 and worked as the Editor on this magazine. She has extensive experience writing and editing content on gardens and landscaping on brands such as Homes & Gardens, Country Homes & Interiors and Living Etc magazine. She has developed close working relationships with top landscape architects and leading industry experts, and has been exposed to an array of rich content and expertise.
In 2020 Teresa bought her first home with her partner in north London. A two-bedroom Victorian house with lovely period features but some seriously dodgy remodelling. A shoddy downstairs shower room which ate into the already tiny kitchen space, and a cowboy lean (without planning permission or proper electricity) to which entirely blocked any natural light reaching the kitchen and dining room.
In a race against time, before the birth of her son, she and her partner worked alongside architects and builders to transform this area into a usable (and safe!) space for her family. Along the way she learned the stresses, woes and joys of home renovation. Her next big project will be landscaping the back garden, and looking into a loft conversion to help house a growing family.
