Ciara is a qualified Horticultural Therapist and Permaculturist from the west of Ireland. She began her gardening and growing journey about 6 years ago, studying Sustainable Horticulture and Permaculture. This course ignited her passion for biodiversity enhancement which can be seen reflected in her gardening style, where earth-care always comes first. She then went on to study Social and Therapeutic Horticulture. Learning about the myriad of health and well-being benefits of nature connection has emboldened her to continue to work with both people, and the land, in any way that she can. Her work now branches in a few different directions including nature based therapy, permaculture garden design, facilitating workshops and retreats, and general gardening and organic food growing.
