Healing & Regenerative Solutions For Ourselves, Our Communities & Our Planet
Hi there, welcome to my website, the "hub" for my work as a Permaculture Educator. I love using creativity to help make permaculture design as accessible as possible for anyone who wants to learn more. I use permaculture principles, ethics and tools in designing healing and regeneration in subject areas that push the edges of where permaculture design is typically located. I'm passionate about empowering others to also make positive changes in their lives by using permaculture in everyday situations . You can learn more about my work in About my Permaculture Educator projects and throughout the other pages here on my website. If you want to chat about any of my projects here then please feel free to contact me and also to connect through my social media spaces on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter . My pace of life at the moment is quite slow due to a long term illness, so it can take me a few days to respond to emails and messages.

Permaculture resources I'm currently enjoying

Farming While Black by Leah Penniman
“At the heart of the movement for liberation is the opportunity to heal intergenerational trauma. The most authentic way to do so is to cultivate the earth, eat the foods of your ancestors, reweave yourself back into the story that’s been sprouting from the village hearth since time immemorial.” Farming While Black is a very beautiful and very powerful book. And as a white British woman and all the privilege that automatically comes with that, I am humbled, and learning so much from this work. In my opinion Farming While Black is essential reading for anyone involved with a more ethical way we grow and access food. |

The Edible Garden by Alice Fowler
My favourite gardening TV ever, The Edible Garden by Alys Fowler (and also her wonderful book of the same name), is being repeated on BBC 2 just now. With permaculture design at its roots, I can totally recommend it, it’s been such an inspiration to me. As an added bonus, Episode 1 features Maddywww.permaculture.co.uk/writers/maddy-harland & Tim Harland & family, and their gorgeous garden too - available on @bbciplayer |

You can find my favourite books, websites, blogs, podcasts and more...to inspire and learn from, on my permaculture Resources Page. Not all of the resources are specifically permaculture focused, but all have been used in someway to influence the permaculture design in my life and work
