Now

Anchor 1

I've opened a new growing season for my year long 2024/25 Grow Your Own Cut Flowers Course on the plots. Every year I learn more, developing the program; this time round I've got two smaller more intimate groups rather than one large one and that's working really well. 

 

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 a monthly column for Cambridge Edition, the weekly SFTW (subscribe above) and Floral Notes - a complete newsletter with monthly growing help and deep dives growing cut flowers and regenerative growing. 

This month I have proudly joined Dig It as a Trustee and already we have some exciting ideas for the new allotment. 

 

It's the end of the flower season here (the last of the chrysanthemums flowering in the tunnel this autumn) so I'm working on some new growing projects here in the gardens. Join me at an open day next spring.
