About

*Next course is : Edinburgh Permaculture Design Course, Jan-May 2026. Info and booking HERE

I’m really not interested in VIP’s, but I am very interested in training more people to become a VUP (Very Useful Person). I believe everyone has the instincts to grow food, build, repair and positively interact with the world around us. Unfortunately, these skills are in decline just when they are needed most so It’s my mission to be part of the Great Re-skilling. 

I live on a smallholding and permaculture site with my family and spend as much time as possible managing the woodland, building things and growing food.   

Courses 

I run courses in permaculture and roundwood framing. You can find out more about these under Courses in the menu and there’s also info on my News page.
