ABOUT ME

Im a bit of a gardening addict
I love to grow all sorts of plants, and love eating home grown food.
I love to cook and am passionate about fermented foods. I love making Kombucha (if you dont know what that is you'll just have to taste some!),
Im a photographer and artist, I have a degree in fine arts - specializing in art theory, art history, wet based and digital photography, and installation art. I am very interested in the re-localisation of food production systems and eating locally grown and organic food.
Community gardens are the best.

PHILOSOPHY
Respect for nature, respect for each other.
