My Garden, My Life, with Sara Venn

Sara Venn is an horticulturalist, activist, writer, blogger and founder of Incredible Edible Bristol which supports groups in Bristol to set up gardening projects. Sarah Layton is a garden designer, and former psychotherapist who is passionate about supporting women to make space in their lives for themselves through the medium of their garden and so enhance their wellbeing.

Sara is a wonderfully lively, strongly opinionated woman who I’ve been following on Instagram since the moment I joined. I absolutely love, and am rather in awe of her refreshing and out-spoken way of describing gardens, and life, often in the same breath.

We had a delightful conversation during which I discovered who influenced her as a gardener, where her passion for her work supporting those less fortunate in society comes from and what excites her about it as well as how much she loves her tiny garden in Bristol which is a haven for both herself and wildlife.
