ABOUT US

about

Rachel Goldsmith ACIHort:

I love to make the most of outdoor spaces to really enjoy spending time in them. My family and I have 2 allotment plots which we visit weekly and enjoy together and it’s very satisfying taking home our own fruit, veg and flowers. We grow organically without using any pesticides, chemicals or
fertilisers and recently started using the no-dig method with great success.

I love being outdoors and my aim is for others in my local community achieve the same benefits and enjoyment from their gardens too.

Miranda:

Miranda is a passionate home gardener and re-developed her previous urban garden by creating a cottage garden, formal garden and vegetable plot. She volunteers at a walled garden near Warwick growing fruit and vegetables for a local night shelter; she particularly enjoyed creating a Peter Rabbit themed area for children in 2023, encouraging children to develop a love of gardening, reading and being outdoors. She has attained the RHS Level 2 in Practical Horticulture and RHS Level 2 in the Principles in Horticulture. She has attended a one day workshop with Charles Dowding on the principle of ‘no dig’ gardening as well as a seed sowing workshop at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons Gardening School. She joined our team in September 2023 and particularly enjoys pruning, small ponds and topiary.
