I've been obsessed with plants & flowers for as long as I can remember. I had an idyllic early childhood growing up on a rambling old farm with an enormous garden & spent hours playing outside, learning the best way about plants - hands on.

​

I trained as a plant biotechnologist, a plant genetic engineer, but hated the politics behind the science and became disenchanted. I retrained as a garden designer, & ran my own business for 10 years. I looked after our daughter Bethan and ran school gardens. I volunteered 4 years at  social....

​

Finally in 2019 we were able to buy the land adjacent to us, where my lovely old next door neighbour Hubert had lived in his small holding. It's taken 2 years to clear the site, & we are so excited & feel so lucky to be able to look after a little piece of heaven on earth, our Eden.

​

Hubert planted so many trees, & we are undergoing tree management for wildlife habitats.

​

The old buildings have been tidied and anything required has been been mainly constructed from rubbish on site by Jez & Nigel, maintaining our ethos of recycling & up cycling.
