My Projects

Chelsea Physic Garden
As a freelancer I facilitate visits to the garden for groups of people who are interested to learn more about the historic cultural and scientific value of this unique garden in central London.

Lambeth GP Food Co-Op
These gardens provide a space for people to socialise, learn new skills and share food together. This results in improved wellbeing, people feeling connected with a sense of agency and accomplishment.
