Just visited a social housing complex in Antwerp that blew me away. Thoughtful design of buildings and green space plus a layout that actually builds community! Proof that housing for all doesn’t have to mean compromising on quality or dignity. #SocialHousing #Urbanplanning

This is the ankerwycke yew I proposed under this tree and apparently Henry VIII did too. It’s at least 1,400 years old and is said to have been witness to the sealing of Magna Carta 😮 #nationaltreeweek #trees

I made a dried flower wreath for the festive season. It was my second rodeo, what do you think?

🌱✨ Just wrapped up an inspiring talk to colleagues at Network Rail for #internationalmensday about my mental health journey, benefits of gardening for wellbeing & tackling imposter syndrome! Sharing my experience is always nerve-wracking but rewarding #MentalHealth #Gardening #ImposterSyndrome

Excited to talk Network Rail today on #InternationalMensDay I will be talking about my mental health journey, imposter syndrome and how gardening supports my wellbeing. Plus why you shouldn’t feel constrained by gender stereotypes when it comes to something that brings you joy #mensmentalhealth

🌍🚫 #COP29 isn't fit for purpose anymore. We need bold, actionable solutions—not just more negotiations. The urgency for real change demands a shift from lengthy talks to immediate, ENFORCEABLE commitments. #COP29Baku #ClimateAction

Today, my daughter and I took a moment to connect with the world around us — one tree hug at a time. 🌳❤️ It’s not just about the trees; it’s about grounding ourselves, slowing down, and teaching the next generation to cherish the natural world 🌍💚 #TreeHugging #trees #NatureLovers #GroundedInNature

Up close shot of the planting at my Burnaby Close redevelopment earlier this year. ❤️🌸 I designed a new, vibrant outdoor space in a previously unloved patch of ground in the heart of a local community. #gardening #gardendesign #blueskygardening #plants #flowers
