Guided Tour of Sophie's Patch 2.0, Shingle Back Farm

Join me for a relaxed, personally guided walk through Sophie’s Patch 2.0 and be among the first to experience this evolving garden in the early stages of its rewilding journey.

Over two hours we’ll wander through the homestead garden, walled vegetable patch and newly planted orchard, while I share the ideas, experiments and challenges behind creating a more resilient and biodiverse landscape.

These small-group tours are informal and conversational, with plenty of time to pause, ask questions and enjoy the beauty of the garden as it continues to develop.

After the tour we’ll gather for morning or afternoon tea with tea, coffee and cakes made using home-grown produce.

Approximately 2-hour guided garden tour with me, Sophie Thomson
