I have recently completed a Master of Urban Horticulture as well as a permaculture design certificate. Through these courses I have come to realise just how important plants and gardens are for our health, our psyche, our society, our culture and our environment. Plants have the power to feed us and heal us, to cool our environment and clean our air. Gardens have the power to bring people from all walks of life together, to build community connection and resilience. I currently work as a horticulturist for a leading landscape design company that creates garden of exceptional beauty and habitat value. I am also keen to widen my involvement in building community connections through horticulture so I would be happy to share my knowledge and experience with other people who also see the value of gardens for food security, health, community and environment.
