Pippa Chapman has been getting her hands dirty for over 30 years, and she’s just getting started. After leaving her role as Head Gardener on a private estate, she took a deep dive into sustainable growing with a year-long apprenticeship at RHS Harlow Carr, where she discovered forest gardening and permaculture. In 2010, she and her husband launched a sustainable gardening business, and today, Pippa grows an abundant mix of fruits, flowers, herbs, and veg in her small backyard.
