My first ever home grow hazel nut 🌰 there appears to only be the one so it feels extra special 🤎 I planted my biodiverse hedgerow 3yrs ago. There are 30 trees with a mix of; Hawthorn, Dogwood, Bird Cherry, Grey Willow, Dog Rose, Birch, Maple & Rowen 🌳 The birds love it 🥰

The red container was painted white yesterday so it reflects more light and blends in to its surroundings more. We opted for the strongest storage we could to be prepared for increasingly intense storms due to climate breakdown. #Prepare #SAFER #ClimateEmergency #Resiliance

My latest project creating this kids allotment. It is proving to be wonderful as the kids, their parents and I are all enjoying transforming this originally bare plot of land into a welcoming, fully functional growing space. Importantly incorporating lots for nature 🦋🌱🌷💚🪴💦 🐝

Welcome to my living pantry. Exchange time spent scrolling with tending to a garden. Share excess produce, seedlings and seeds with your neighbours. Start community food gardens. Gift kids with the skills & passion to grow food, for real, not just in Roblox latest ‘grow a garden’ game!

The joy of discovering ripe fruits and witnessing bees feeding from your flowers in the allotment. And gifting excess produce to others through the Lottie Larder 🥰

Etienne Stott and I delivered an online Sport Imaginarium for the British Mountaineering Council, backed by Sport England.

The aim of this campaign is to inspire sport to use its enormous power of influence to, you know, just, save life on earth! 🌎 💗

When your boyfriend gifts you flowers from the Community Fridge scheme that he collects every other week, saving food waste from local shops by gifting it to local residents twice a week 💗 🌹 🥰 what a guy Etienne Stott.

This was my favourite hands on project last year, opening & running the ‘Lottie Larder’ on Saturday mornings through summer. A space where all food growers can swap, gift, receive, spare seeds, seedlings, produce & knowledge, have a cuppa & a chat, connect & build community 🥰

February in the allotment; spreading compost onto the beds, refilling the bays with fresh ‘gardeners gold’ 💩 laying fresh wood chip along the paths, chitting the first early potatoes and planning what to start sowing and what to grow through the season 🌱

Loving how revived I feel when I spend time at the allotment. Today I grabbed an hour and planted the flowers my mum gifted me for my birthday. Yesterday I enjoyed a solid 3hrs workout moving wood chip onto the paths of the community allotment. It looked good and felt great 😊 #Allotment #LocalFood
