My Qualifications

I have run my own woodland management business for over 10 years and hold the Certificate in Arboriculture.  I have undertaken many related short courses and  some RHS modules.   My work  includes coppice management, orchard pruning, sustainable management plans, small tree pruning, tree planting and hedgelaying.  I also work as a freelance mentor and trainer, supporting community growing projects.

I hold the Permaculture Diploma (accredited through the Permaculture Association) and I am registered as a Diploma Tutor – see my tutor profile at permaculture.org.uk.  Please contact me if you are looking for a Personal, Design or Technical Support with your Diploma. (This can be done by email, phone and Skype if you are not able to come to Wales.)  I completed a Permaculture Design Certificate Course in 2000 (Green Adventure, London) and I also completed the Earth Activist Training with Starhawk at Ragman’s Lane in 2006.

I have a qualification in training adult learners – PTTLS

Upcycled furniture

Refurbished items of furniture, using a variety of finishes.  Shown here are two upcycled wooden side tables plus tea caddy which have been painted, hand decorated (with my own printed shell design), distressed and finally varnished.  Many one-off items are available and the stock is changing all the time.   I try to use water based paints and varnishes which are less toxic for the environment.   My furniture stock is reclaimed from items people have thrown out, which are still useful and potentially beautiful.
