no dig gardening, seasonal cooking, permaculture, preserving, foraging, storing, crafting, home life
Hello! I’m Stephanie, welcome to my website and 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.
No Dig Organic Home and Garden is also signed by Charles. If you would like me to add an inscription, please say so in the Order Notes or send me a message.
I am very happy to add any inscription you choose (within reason!!) to make your purchase extra special.
I am delighted that my new book The Creative Kitchen has been published. You can order it here.
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 write about no dig gardening, potion making, seasonal recipes and other sustainable homesteading and self sufficiency topics – all based on my own experience.
Please contact me if you would like to discuss commissioning an article or blog.
Publications include Gardens Illustrated, Permaculture Magazine International , Permaculture Magazine North America, Grow It (now Kitchen Garden Magazine) and guest blogs for national companies, organisations and people, including this one for Mr Plant Geek.
My photographs have been published in newspapers and magazines worldwide, including National Geographic, Somerset Life and Gardener’s World Magazine, also many of Charles’ books – as well as my own work which is almost entirely illustrated by my photographs.
I wrote recipes for Chapter 10 in the 2018 edition of Charles Dowding’s Salad Leaves for All Seasons.
