I’m primarily found on Instagram and YouTube under the @pumpkins_etc handle, demonstrating everything I have learned over the years and encouraging others into their gardens. I’m also a contributor to horticultural publications.
I’m a passionate mental health advocate and believe that plants and gardening can have a hugely positive effect on our wellbeing.
I have teamed up with Chase Bridge Primary School in the London Borough of Richmond to create The ClassBloom, an allotment centred garden aimed at giving children with mental health concerns and SEN a reprieve from the sometimes stressful environment of formal learning. The ClassBloom demonstrates how therapeutic time in nature can be and how even the smallest garden can enable children to thrive.
You can follow my progress in the run up to the Festival in my Road to Hampton diary for Garden Folk Magazine.
If you would like to donate to the project in any way please send an email to kate@pumpkinsetc.co.uk
