The Crew!
Emma is a single mum, gardener, piano teacher, pianist, author, amateur plantswoman and amateur naturalist. After moving through 12 years of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, she started street gardening and realised what an untapped goldmine of opportunity it was…in particular she revelled in how it could transform her own intense frustrations and sadnesses into positive change that many could benefit from….and Heartscapes began. Emma loves life and is determined to live every moment of it intentionally. She also loves learning in particular looking at ways to change broken systems, creating healthy soil and healthy gardens, learning about local ecosystems and using her macro lens to look at the world of insects and flowers.
