Shila is a freelance consultant and coach who fell in love with nature-based gardening five years ago. She delivers community focussed projects for National Trust, the Long Table, and Grace Network amongst others, and in between times has worked alongside clients in their gardens across Stroud. Muck & Magic combines these two professional disciplines into bite-size packages. When not at work, Shila is the tenant on an off grid small holding on a tiny island in the Solway as well as being the mum of teens.
“So much of our time is spent in our heads - I know that real deep contentment comes from instead, feeding our hearts and our souls. I don’t grow the plants in my garden, they grow themselves and along the way, grow me too. “
