Experts in Growing Community farms and garden delivering training, consultancy and support
Meet Heidi and Keeley who deliver training, consultancy and one to one support to you.
We met one sunny day in May 2018, when we started at the same national community farm and garden charity. Our combined experience (Keeley as a teacher and school farm and garden manager; Heidi as a community and charity project coordinator and trainer) was such a great fit, we had to start our own C.I.C. Since then we have worked on countless exciting and diverse projects and we have brought together everything we know to support vital work like yours.
