Our Values

Many of my happiest childhood memories involve gardening, looking after an assortment of pets and farm animals, and visiting family, friends and neighbours in my local community. These early influences led me to have a strong interest in sustainable development and to study for a BA and MSc in related subjects including International Rural Development and Organic Agriculture. I have worked and volunteered on a range of community development, agricultural and environmental projects in the UK and abroad including a city farm in London and a vocational training centre in Botswana. When I first moved to Lincolnshire in 2010, I was shocked that Lincoln didn’t have its own city farm or community garden and together with a group of like-minded people began to discuss whether it may be possible to set one up. Ideas began to develop into action and in 2012 Green Synergy was founded.
