Welcome back to the Sunflower Allotment Podcast! This episode is the first of a two-part Easter special with the amazing Stephanie Hafferty. Stephanie is an organic gardner, award-winning author, blogger and a leading authority in No-Dig gardening. During this first part we ask Stephanie about her origins of gardening, her movement into gardening as a profession as well as her garden planning, inter-cropping and year-round production on her Wales Homestead. We also discuss the importance of plants on the plot for pollinators, insects and predators as well as their amazing colour! To read Stephanie's blog, access links to her books and courses on No Dig, please see the link below to her lovely website.https://nodighome.com/If you would like to get in contact, please do not hesitate to with episode ideas, your experiences or questions.
