no dig gardening, seasonal cooking, permaculture, preserving, foraging, storing, crafting, home life
Hello! I’m Stephanie, welcome to my blog.
I’m a professional organic no dig kitchen gardener, plant based cook, award winning author and writer, small scale homesteader and mum of three.
In this blog I share my gardening experiences (the successes and the disasters!), recipes for plant based food, crafts and natural products for home and garden. And some of my adventures and outings too!
This blog is all about enjoying the space you have, small scale homesteading wherever you live.
I am so excited to announce that my new book The Creative Kitchen will be published soon! In November but we’re waiting for the date to be confirmed.
No Dig Organic Home and Garden, co written with Charles Dowding, won the Peter Seabrook Practical Book of the Year Award at the 2017 Garden Media Guild Awards.
I wrote recipes for Chapter 10 in the 2018 edition of Charles Dowding’s Salad Leaves for All Seasons.
Today I am updating the blog theme and carrying out various kinds of maintenance.
At this time of year, gathering food to store from my garden and allotment in the warm, golden light of the afternoons (weather permitting!!), I always think how for our ancestors this must have been a time of celebration, busy-ness and uncertainty – so much to harvest, prepare and preserve!
As summer mellows into autumn, the allotment and garden is full of ripening vegetables and fruit.
I am here surrounded by piles of baking recipe books and have written a very long shopping list, in preparation…
Photography day course 10 – 4 on Thursday September 6th at Charles Dowding’s garden, Homeacres, Alhampton, Somerset, BA4 6PZ.
The best laid plans do not always come to fruition! Gardening is a great leveller. Whether you are growing on…
Store coming very soon! Dismiss
