I connect communities with nature by providing skills, training and knowledge, enabling people to thrive in local green spaces for the long term. I develop gardens and growing sites that are practical, accessible and fit for purpose, with both environmental and social sustainability in mind.

I divide my time between practical horticulture activity and wider programme delivery, working on both a local and national level. I have worked for a number of national organisations including the Soil Associaion, Lantra and Menter a Busnes on a number of horticulture, food and farming projects including Tyfu Cymru, Future Growers, Sustainable Food Places, Food For Life Get Togethers and Farming Connect.

I’m a trained organic grower with experience working on a number of organic small-scale commercial farms and market gardens, both in the UK and in the US. In 2017 I completed an assistant grower traineeship supported by the Soil Association Future Growers scheme, to expand my practical growing skills and provide me with extensive knowledge of the commercial horticulture sector. I’m an Environmental Fellow of the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust which supported me through 3 months in the US, researching urban food production, policies and local supply chains for small scale horticulture.

Prior to retraining as an organic grower, I had a career in events management in music and the arts. Fortunately those skills have come in handy in my food and farming career and over the past 8 years I’ve programmed and delivered a range of sessions and events at conferences including Groundswell, Abergavenny Food Festival and the Oxford Real Farming Conference.

I’m currently the Project Delivery Manager for Clydach Community Garden in South Wales, where I have been developing the site and delivering sessions and projects with volunteers, schools and the local community on a weekly basis for over 3 years. I deliver sessions to a range of clients including members with additional needs and/or specialist considerations. I’m currently training as a Social and Therapeutic Horticulture Practitioner to further develop the support I’m able to offer in this sector.
