I am an organic kitchen gardener. My energy for the subject was sparked in the family allotment as a child and has only grown through time at agricultural college and then over ten years at Park Farm, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage HQ, with five years spent as Head Gardener. During this time, I learned the art of balancing aesthetic and production; supplying the kitchens with harvests year round, whilst maintaining a visual backdrop for the business’s daily events, festivals and television appearances. My aim now is to encourage this blend of beauty and function in organic gardens both big and small, at home and for business.
