A Wilder Way with Poppy Okotcha

Tune into this episode with Poppy Okotcha, ecological home grower and community gardener, to hear about how we can rewild our relationship to the land around us – including our gardens!

Poppy has just released a book, ‘A Wilder Way: How Gardens Grow Us’, a beautiful memoir on her connection to her garden and how settling down her roots in tending a patch of land has helped her grow as an individual and explore how we can all grow a better world. Flipping the narrative from humans being in control of gardens to being part of the garden itself is such an important shift!

From the process of writing her book to the holistic process of rewilding ourselves, this conversation with Poppy really uplifted me – I hope you enjoy it too!
