About Happy
Smallholding
Hello and welcome! Here at Happy Smallholding we have created a thriving homestead, abundant with food and wildlife. Situated in Somerset, our smallholding provides us with the vast majority of our food, all organically grown in harmony with nature. We grow fruit & vegetables and keep chickens, ducks & bees. We have a passion for projects, and have built the vegetable garden ourselves over the past couple of years. We’ve also created ornamental gardens and enclosures for our animals.
Putting nature first
We put nature first in everything we do, and have created a wildlife haven on our plot. We have planted trees & hedging, sown a wildflower meadow, dug a wildlife pond and created log walls to name a few projects. We place an emphasis on recycling & re-purpose materials where we can.
Juggling work, life & the garden
We do all of this alongside full time jobs. No matter how much free time you have, I believe there’s always time to squeeze in a bit of gardening with the right knowledge. Planning the garden is a strength of mine and I want to empower others with the same skill. Gardening brings us so much joy and I want to make it accessible to all.
How I can help you to create a veg garden that suits you
I offer courses, in person and online (online courses launching soon), to teach both beginners and those with more experience to grow food alongside busy lives. My e-book and planting plans will guide you through growing over 40 different fruits and vegetables. These are available for free with my courses. If you’re after a more tailored approach, I also offer one-on-one gardening & smallholding consultancy. For consultancy please drop me an email.
