Myself and my husband, Tom, and our 2 daughters, live on Tom's family's organic farm just outside Leamington Spa. We helped set up Canalside Community Food, a veg CSA, 4 years ago and are now branching out into fruit. Patrick Whitefield helped us with the design of our new permaculture fruit field/forest garden, most of which was planted up in winter 09/10.

I'm also a member of the Leamington permaculture group, who have been meeting since September 2010. We're hoping to work on a number of local projects, including the design and planting up of a designated social area at Canalside and a proposed permaculture garden at the new Leamington Sustainability Centre.

At home, I'm currently working on transforming our oversized lawn into a forest garden paradise. Getting there... slowly...
