Poppy is a Nigerian-British ecological home grower. Her fundamental belief that we are nature informs her work inspiring and educating millions of people on how to grow food, plants and herbal medicines in their gardens.
Join us in this inspiring conversation as we explore Poppy’s journey from fashion modelling to gardening, and what it means to grow in harmony with Earth. We also discuss how gardening helps us re-imagine the environmental movement and our relationship with nature.
