Biography

I have always enjoyed the great outdoors and with my parents and grandparents being keen gardeners, it's only natural that I have followed with a love of horticulture. Once I had laid my roots in Hertfordshire, I was determined to continue growing my own food and was lucky enough to be given an allotment in 2019. A lot of people talk about gardening being their escape and therapy, but during the pandemic my allotment became my life raft. In between shifts I would escape to the allotment and into nature, with the dirt under my nails, the sun on my skin and process all I was experiencing. Sowing seeds, believing in a future and having something to put my mind to helped me through the pandemic.

Additional Interests

My allotment and documenting my journey on social media has bought me so much joy. Gardening is a process and we are often in mother natures hands. There are so many benefits of gardening and growing our own, it can sometimes feel daunting to get started, or you feel you need a large garden. I hope that I can show how gardening is for all. Even without a garden, allotment, equipment or lots of spare time you can still enjoy gardening.
