In this podcast KG editor Steve Ott chats to inspirational community gardener Becky Rolfe. With the help of willing volunteers, Becky has helped to create two community plots on the site in her local Norfolk village, providing prospective plot holders with the chance to gain confidence and hone their skills before taking on a patch of their own. She is also the driving force behind Hevingham Community Garden, open to the public 24/7 as a space to relax and to grow food, much of which is given to families in need in the local community and beyond. This work is part-funded by Becky herself via not-for-profit company Give Two Figs through which she sells her beautiful artworks.
