I’m Amy. I grow things in small London spaces and I have found irrigation systems so useful in enabling me to grow more with the little time (and space) I have!
I enjoyed gardening with my dad while growing up. Then my first major independent project was helping on my friend’s allotment in New Cross in 2015. Since then I have grown on my balcony, a forest garden allotment, and a bookshelf that used to hold books and now holds herbs. Different sites, different constraints, and new opportunities to experiment.
This blog is where I try and capture some of those projects.
