Grace Hills has been digging up the grass verges and planting fruit trees and increasing the biodiversity on her street, with the help of her neighbours and their children. Abi met two of the children who are part of her Flower Fairies group, where Grace teaches children to enjoy and appreciate nature, and to do plenty of planting, despite living on a suburban housing estate!
If you’re a gardener this is a good episode to listen to whilst you’re doing some digging and planting, and if, like Abi, you appreciate nature, but don’t see yourself as a gardener, we know you’ll be inspired by the small steps that started Grace Hills on her gorilla gardening journey. We also talk about being a neurodiverse Christian activist, a subject we’ll return to soon!

The book she mentioned is called Get Gorilla Gardening.
