"Engaging with a garden is entering a cycle of exchange, we support the land and the land supports us."

A bit about me . . .
WELCOME!
​
I am an ecological, home grower and as so often comes with the territory, a forager and passionate cook, working to inspire reconnection to land and the living world through the story of food and herbs, from growing and processing to cooking, soil to table.
​
“A garden can give us harvests of nutrient-dense food, healing herbs, lessons on living more gently on the Earth and a place to build community while stepping towards greater food sovereignty and a more equitable food system."

Here I share my ethos and what I stand for, as well as what I’ve learnt and am learning. Expect useful how to's, inspiration, and ramblings pertaining to gardening, food, herbs and the wild.
You’ll find a handy, evolving list of resources I’ve shared in the library, from books to seed sellers.
I hope you leave here feeling empowered and inspired!
​“Communing with nature, even if it’s simply growing some sprouts on your windowsill is healing, empowering, awe-inspiring.”
RIGHT TO GROW.
I want to make ecological, regenerative growing feel accessible for everyone.
​
I see access to Nature, nutritious food and space to grow as fundamental and political, they are essential for mental & physical wellbeing, offer powerful direct access to culture, heritage, the land and each other.
All life should have the right to access and interact with a living world in a fulfilling and empowering way.
“ We all deserve to belong to the Land. To have our feet on soil that will care for us and we will care for in return.”
