“The Seed Lady” w
elcomes you to the fun, healthy and eco-conscious world of urban gardening and eco-crafts.
A social enterprise bringing local urban gardening knowledge & resources building food sustainability, health & to reduce waste through upcycled art.
In a world where yards are shrinking, or non-existent, the face of gardening is changing. Gardening is now increasingly done in small spaces, indoors, and frequently in pots or containers. Like so many people in this urban setting, I have spent my life creating gardens where there was little to no space.
After many years of trial and error, I have become successful in growing a great deal in very small, awkward spaces. I bring this knowledge and creative upcycled crafts to help you create warm and inviting indoor and outdoor urban gardens with my seeds, plants and eco-crafts.
Gardening is so good for your mental and physical well being, I hope you will enjoy your gardening adventure as much as I do.
