Now
Half way through the growing season of my year long 2024/25 Grow Your Own Cut Flowers Course on the plots. This time round I've got two smaller more intimate groups rather than one large one and that's working really well. I'm starting a new monthly Saturday class on the 'Art & Craft of Growing Cut Flowers'.
I’m deep into a project with Capel Manor, London’s environmental college on a new Floriculture course that will enrol September 2025. This is so exciting. To my knowledge, this will be the first of its kind, growing cut flowers naturally (chemical free), harvesting and arranging with reusable sustainable mechanics over a year for adults.
​
I'm consulting with Capel Manor's Organic Farm Forty Hall to develop the flower growing both for teaching on site and selling together with several other grower projects across the South East of England designing their plots and business models.
I’m designing gardens in Suffolk, Essex and Cambridge including the visitor centre garden at the David Parr House. They are all projects where mature spaces are being renovated with planting that is resilient to the climate crisis, providing much biodiversity and often food too.
​
I'm writing weekly Floral Notes - a complete newsletter with growing advice and deep dives growing cut flowers and regenerative growing.
​
We've got exciting plans with Dig It after landing some great grants for new projects on the second allotment.

It's almost the beginning of our flower season. Subscribe above for open day, course news and how to buy cut flowers in buckets or for an event.
