Shani smiling with colourful flower background

My practice is based on extensive experience working with people of various backgrounds; cultural, ability, age, identity, and life experiences. I work collaboratively with my clients, with respect and empathy.

Through workshops, individual, and group sessions, I practice and teach a variety of gardening and food growing skills to suit any space, skill level, need and desire. Providing a safe and supportive space, facilitating a healing experience. I work across a wide range of sectors, in both metropolitan and rural areas, including:

  • mental health services

  • schools

  • community gardens

  • adult education

  • disability support services.

For me therapeutic gardening is challenging, educational, fulfilling and enriching.
It makes me feel well grown.
