I've had 40 years' experience of kitchen gardening, including more than 20 years of self-sufficiency and 8 years as a professional in walled gardens.
I have worked with schools making substantial food gardens.
I have a soil science degree (2.1 BSc. Hons. Habitat and Soil Management, University of Reading, 2006)
2010, my book, 'Organic Vegetable Growing' was published. Throughout the text I include information specific to gardening with children. I'm currently working on a second edition.
For more than 20 years I've campaigned for food gardening to be brought into the curriculum as a subject to GCSE and A level. Email me for document I've sent to numerous ministers and other politicians. The article contains some inspiring pictures and demonstrates my strong interest in and commitment to this subject.
