I have created my own Garden of Eden.

​

Back to my roots

​

A long, international journey through life, has brought me back to my homeland after 30 years being away, back to the origins of my ancestors.

​

It took many years to cut the cord from my adopted home, the multicultural cosmopolitan city of London.

​

In addition to my professional career as a designer and lecturer at the University of Arts London, I have courses at the anthroposophic Emerson College  in bio-dynamic cultivation.

​

In 2010 I came back to the lake in Überlingen. A 90 sqm piece of historical garden, part of the Menzinger Gardens, in the middle of the city, helped me in my first attempts at designing a garden. But soon I realized that my plants and I needed more space. 

​

On a walk I discovered a fallow, neglected meadow. 3000 square meters were waiting for me and the plants. Within 2 weeks the owner gave me the right to use it.  

​

Inspired by the principles of PermacultureI started to convert this meadow at the Schreibersbildkapelle in autumn 2014 with the help of the bode creatures. ThePlant-

splendor that reveals itself anew every year finally gives me this long-awaited strength and peace. 

​

It is very important to me to share this experience with others and to found a country garden movement that fights against monoculture and makes our environment worth living in again for all living beings.

​

With warm regards from the garden
