Anna grew up in West Wales, where growing food and working with the seasons formed part of everyday life. She has over 40 years of experience cultivating fruit and vegetables, having learned alongside her father and grandfather from an early age.
Originally trained as a musician and teacher of violin and piano, Anna later studied regenerative horticulture at Black Mountains College. She now applies regenerative principles within her own garden and allotment practice, focusing on methods that support soil health, biodiversity, and long-term sustainability.
Anna is particularly interested in the lifelong learning that growing encourages, observing natural systems, adapting to changing conditions, and developing practices that work in partnership with the environment. Her teaching combines practical experience with an open, reflective approach to horticulture.
