About the garden
'I don't want it, it's too much work'
My flat mate put his foot down in 2016:
'It's the ugliest garden I've ever seen. If you want to take it you are on your own.'
So I took it. Now 7 years later the garden once known as 'Klo gardens' because it's most notable feature was a discarded portable toilet is a fruitful place that I love being in.
It's still not the prettiest place because the garden is right by the road and the soil is pure sand but it is a productive place filled with raspberries, strawberries and bright flowers.
This garden taught me how to build soil out of sand. It taught me to respect what it can and cannot be. It cannot be perfect. But it can be mine and produce fresh food from March to November.
I can help you solve the challenges of gardening and show you how to make your own garden or balcony a great place that you love to be in. This video is from June 2023.

About the gardener
Hi I'm Sophie I studied horticulture at Capel Manor College in the U.K in 2015
I have lived in Berlin since 2008 and my background is in fine art and gardening.
I have always loved growing plants and love helping you find easy ways of growing your own food and making gardening part of your everyday life with simple low cost methods. Berlin has kicked my ass and shown me how to garden!
