With a history of low confidence, anxiety and panic attacks, Annabelle Padwick (who lives on a narrow-boat on the canal near Oxford) came back to gardening and Growing her Own veg in her 20s as a way of supporting herself to get well.

At age 27, having experienced the difference that gardening had made to how she felt, and what she was able to achieve day to day, she formed Life at no 27, a social enterprise that supports children in school, and adults through gardening.

We had a lovely conversation during which we discussed her garden, how she re-grows vegetables in water after eating them, the way she does in schools supports the children who access it and lots more.
