Perfume in the potting shed

The shed. What greater emblem of English country life than a prefabricated wooden building at the end of the garden?

Men have long held the monopoly on sheds and their secrets but now a growing number of women are getting in on the act.

I've teamed up with Devon Life for a new series to discover what these women get up to. It's a great excuse to showcase some wonderful small businesses and amazing people. And would you know, so far there’s not a seed packet or garden fork in sight.

The first article is in this month's magazine and features Emma Rhodes, who uses her shed to make her handmade soap.
