We took the leap
From City to Rural
Homegrown and hopeful is the start of a new chapter in which we said yes to an amazing opportunity that would change our lives.
We have taken on a small plot of land in the beautiful South of England where we are growing a permaculture garden, and we want to share our experiences on this Blog!
This is our first year and winter has arrived with sudden Force! We have been working on various projects all summer including installing two large polytunnels and building our own wormery!
