About me

Permaculture designer (PDC), Teacher (AET3 & ToT) and Consultant. I specialise in creating edible landscape designs and regenerating soil. I also run workshops and courses. I have run EarthCamp for 10 years - weekend events for people to connect with nature & themselves (I initially trained as a psychiatric nurse & counsellor).

I have spent a lifetime growing my own food, foraging, preserving food, being an eco-warrior and making herbal lotions and potions. I completed my PDC in 2010 and am currently undertaking the Diploma.

Interests in soil management, fungi and producing food in hard to grow areas.
