Rebekah the UK Plant Doctor

I’m Rebekah, a UK-based plant health scientist with a plant science PhD. I can demystify plant health problems in your garden, and help you to identify common UK pests and plant diseases.

As well as my PhD, I have over a decade's experience in the plant health profession, and an RHS level 3 diploma in horticulture. My plant health research has been published in many scientific journals.

Highlights of my career include overseeing the development and build of the Plant Health garden at the RHS Chatsworth Flower Show in 2018, and inspecting high-risk plants at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

That means I know all about diagnosing sick plants, pests, and diseases; and I'll help you make your garden healthy.

Most of my gardening - but not all - happens in these climate zones:

🌡️ UK: RHS Hardiness H4
🌡️ US: USDA Zone 9a

In my videos, I let you know when you might want to take action in your garden - and when you can just sit back and enjoy the beauty and diversity of nature. 🌸
