Hi, my name is Alison and I have a diploma in Applied Permaculture Design. Foxfield is a one acre family garden and it is acredited through the Permaculture Association UK as a demonstration LAND Centre.
We are open again from 16th April to 12th October 2024 after a years break. Thank you for all your enquiries and patience. Two new projects have been completed during the break - a new large pond and cob mushroom house, so I hope the wait will be worth it for any new or old faces who visit this year.
As well as open days and private permaculture tours, I am excited to be returning to my Emergence Sessions for developing emotional sensitivity and intuitive connection with nature. This is becoming more and more my focus and I am offering bespoke sessions for individuals, couples or small groups who would like to explore a deeper experience of themselves within nature. I can combine practical tours/advice and Emergence sessions if you fancy both!
Please see the 2024 programme and booking details here.
Meanwhile there are lots of pictures and projects for you to enjoy on the website. If you would like to contact me about your own projects, please drop me an email via the contact page.
