Teaching Beginners to Think Like a Grower
I didn’t just learn how to grow vegetables, I learned how to think like a grower. What began with a handful of radishes and spring onions slowly became something much bigger. A deep curiosity about how plants grow, what they need, and how small seasonal decisions shape the harvest months later.
Today, I teach beginners not just what to sow, but how to see their garden differently, to notice, to observe, to understand. Because when you learn to think like a grower, everything changes.
