"Retirement from a career of teaching in schools and universities allowed Susan to devote more time to gardening and growing vegetables. She has lived for the last 20 years on two acres in the Wye Valley, on the English-Welsh border. Originally trained as a pianist she spent many years as a music educator and university lecturer, with degrees in music, education and biological anthropology. From writing about education to writing about growing beans may seem to be a wide leap, but there is a connecting thread, one of hoping to motivate change for the better. In her book 'Growing beans' Susan talks about how growing your own beans builds healthy soil and provides you with a nutrient rich diet ; how to sow, grow and harvest beans ; how to built supports and structures for beans ; how to prepare and cook dried beans ; how to source and save seeds."
