About

Jennie Macfie has been, amongst other things, the gardening columnist for the Sunday Herald since 2001. Hopelessly addicted to the performing arts, she feeds her habit by writing reviews for Northings and other sites.

Jennie sits on the boards of three arts organisations: the Promoters Arts Network (PAN) with 100 members across the Highlands, Islands, Argyll & Bute; David Hughes Dance (as chair) and Hoda Productions. She manages a film footage archive, co-owns a new Highland-based television production company, and occasionally has time to promote concerts in her Highland village hall. She writes funding applications, proofreads theses and edits stories for friends, family and clients. She dabbles in websites, Facebooks, and is a member of the Twitterati.

All this may possibly be a clue as to why her own garden is not what you might call immaculate.

In a past, London-based, life, Jennie at various times produced and distributed feature films, television series, music videos, concert films and rockumentaries, as well as three sons. She has worked in theatre and managed a restaurant, having left Edinburgh University with a degree in Psychology and a passion for dance. As you do.
