Fiona and her husband live in Maleny. She has always enjoyed reading, and as a child, weekly visits to the library with her dad were a highlight. She has had several careers in office administration, childcare, teaching and aged care. Fiona enjoys spending time with her granddaughter Tilly and was inspired to write this book based on their adventures in the garden. Apart from engaging in the joy of nature, she enjoys pottery, reading, playing mahjong, yoga and walking with Ruby.
