Hi I’m Becky! I’m a natural living expert, herbalist, gardener and mum living on our ethical farm in Northern Ireland.

Since then I have studied herbalism and natural skincare from Chestnut Herbs and The Herbal Academy as well as extensive self study (aka hello book addiction!) This blog is all about sharing the joy of living a slow and natural life, with recipes, seasonal living guides and of course links to the Nature and Nourish Podcast as well as my regular gardening tips from BBC Radio 2!I hope that you also enjoy reading and joining in on the conversation!
