Meet our team

I have discovered the pleasure of eating food straight from the garden at my grandparents’ farm in the North of France. Redcurrants and raspberries, parsley, lettuce and shallots still bring back powerful and joyful memories spent as a child in my grandmother’s vegetable garden and kitchen. Moving to Exeter, I discovered Devon’s food, local produce and producers, attempting growing food on an allotment myself. I later trained in in organic horticulture at School Farm CSA in Dartington, in community gardening through the Gardeniser programme and volunteered and worked as an assistant grower on a local organic farm. A big part of settling in Exeter and making it my home has been played by St Thomas Community Garden which I have been running for several years, working to grow both food and community, with neighbours and fellow residents of the city. I had the dream of seeing more growing and vibrant places in our community and set up Zero Mile Gardens to do that.
