An ongoing journey into the world of organic horticulture, nutrition, food, sport and life in general!

Before we start, as you've probably realized by now, alot of my experiences involve sights, tastes, sounds and smells. What can I say, I'm a senses person. Our 3 week journey led us across some stunning...
A new year, an indulgent Christmas and some routine for a few weeks inspired me to put what I've been learning about nutrition into practice. Working and living with a raw foodie in December got me thinking more about the damage caused to many vegetables through cooking. Over Christmas I was informed of a man called Brendan Brazier, a vegan ironman athlete, who follows a mainly plant based diet. Having read some of his articles and interviews I signed up for his free online Thrive program. This coupled with the...

Hi, my name is Laura. I'm an Environmental Science graduate, I've also a FETAC level 5 cert in Organic Horticulture. I've been growing crops for the last 2 years and still have alot to learn but its something I love doing and want to know more about. I have a small allotment and have created a community garden in the estate I live in. I'm currently wwoofing (willing workers on organic farms) around New Zealand to get experience in different areas of horticulture, permaculture and sustainable living. I play Ultimate Frisbee competitively and travelling to tournaments takes up most of my money and spare time! I also love cooking and learning about nutrition, new foods and cooking techniques.
