What Our Students Are Saying

We really enjoyed our day on Saturday and have learned alot and I’m motivated to get started now with the garden this year. We’ll start slowly and see how it goes. I thought the day was great and everything was very interesting and well done. I liked how the advise provided was tailored to the questions asked and you ensured that everyone was able to ask questions and learn what was needed. The food was also delicious. I would say to continue as it was and have no other recommendations for change at this time. We’ll certainly look at joining other classes in the future and will share your information.

It was great to see you both and also the garden again in a different season. I found it all hugely informative and easy to take on board your knowledge through your relaxed manor. Saturday morning was spent sharpening tools and then going out our back gate to prune 9 apple trees that the council planted 2 years ago and have abandoned! Understanding the logic of how a fruit tree stays healthy from your course gave me confidence to thin out the branches and cut back the shoots.

Thank you very much for the very enjoyable and memorable day. You have a wealth of fabulous knowledge and we thoroughly appreciate you sharing it with us. It felt so special being invited into your lovely home and tasting Isabel’s wonderful preparations of the fresh ingredients. Mum very much enjoyed the day and has since been looking at purchasing a polytunnel. We look forward to our next visit!

Thanks for hosting the course we attended last week. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Your knowledge and passion were so impressive, and your practical advice made the process of creating a kitchen garden seem not only achievable but genuinely enjoyable. I liked the way you broke down each step and shared personal anecdotes to help beginners like me! And thanks for answering our questions with such patience and for providing valuable resources and tips. I feel much more confident about getting started and look forward to putting what I’ve learnt into practice. I plan to start small, as you suggested! Once again, thank you for a thoroughly engaging and informative session. I hope to attend more of your courses in the future!

I really enjoyed my visit/workshop and observing the methods you use in growing vegetables and fruit. What really appealed to me was how the garden is focused on optimising, in a sustainable manner, the production of such a wide variety of vegetables and fruit. The lunch which Isabelle produced using the produce of your garden was delicious! Thank you both very much for such an enjoyable experience and I will be back!
