About Me – Catherine Hughes

Hi, I’m Catherine Hughes. I am a freelance journalist and writer, and author of children’s nature activity books. My Amazon page lists my published titles.

Growing Family is my home and garden blog where I share ideas, inspiration and tips for making the most of busy family life. There’s a focus on gardening, nature play and fun crafts for children.

Education and experience

I have been blogging for 8 years and have a broad range of experience and skills in digital media.

Before having children I worked in brand marketing; my career in media spans over 20 years.

Gardening has been a big part of my life since I was very small. I grew up on my dad’s allotment, and the urge to coax things into life and develop my own patch of land has been an obsession ever since.  My writing reflects this skill base, while being a mum to two fantastic kids has shaped my other passion: encouraging children to engage with and explore the natural world.

I work regularly with brands on marketing campaigns and am always happy to discuss options for promotion.
