Growing consultant · speaker · brand builder
I help organisations, communities and landowners create biodiverse, edible growing spaces — and I help purpose-led businesses grow too, through marketing, content and websites that work.
The story so far
I've spent my career proving that growing food and restoring nature belong together. At Roots Allotments I helped more than 5,000 people get access to a growing space of their own — leading on community, events, growing education and site design so that every site made room for wildlife as well as veg beds.
That meant thousands of trees in the ground, thousands of metres of native hedgerow, ponds dug and wildflower meadows sown. Biodiversity wasn't a nice-to-have on those sites; it was the design principle.
Alongside the growing work, I build brands — a craft I learned over seven years in advertising, at Vice Media and Saatchi & Saatchi, before setting out on my own. I've relaunched websites, set up CRMs, built custom booking systems and created content that helps good businesses reach the people who need them. Growing spaces, growing businesses — it turns out the same care applies to both.
What I do
Design and set-up of edible growing spaces that benefit people and pollinators. I use agroecological practices to create biodiverse sites — allotments, community gardens, market gardens — with native hedgerows, ponds and wild areas built in from day one.
Strategy and hands-on delivery for purpose-led businesses, backed by seven years in advertising at Vice Media and Saatchi & Saatchi. Brand development, community building, events and campaigns that reach the people who need you.
Photography, video and social content for your brand, wherever your story happens. From testimonials to launch films, I create content that feels real — because it is.
Websites that do more than look good: CRM integration, dynamic booking systems, payment plans. Built around how your business actually runs.
Talks on biodiversity-enhancing food production — how we grow more food and more life. I've spoken at Groundswell, Earthed Co, Buddhafield and Crops Not Shops, plus local growing groups and Women's Institutes across the country.
Selected work
Community · Events · Growing Education · Site Design · Biodiversity Lead
Helped over 5,000 people get access to a growing space of their own. I led biodiversity projects across the sites: thousands of trees planted, thousands of metres of native hedgerow, ponds and wildflower meadows.
Growing Space Design & Set-up
Designed and set up 9 bespoke allotments for a sustainable housing project, built on agroecological principles — establishing hedgerow, ponds and wild areas alongside the growing spaces so residents and wildlife both got a home.
Website Relaunch · CRM · Custom Booking System
Relaunched the website, set up a CRM and built a custom dynamic booking system — giving the studio the technology it needs so Patrick can concentrate on teaching.
Produce Supply · Content Collab New: collab passata
Bristol's much-loved Italian trattoria cooks with produce I grow in the market garden. We make content together too — our first reel had Riccardo cooking his mamma's stuffed courgette flowers right where they grew — and our latest collab is a passata made with my tomatoes.
