Sow & Grow Regenerative

Welcome to connection and abundance

John Metcalf, is a Permaculture Designer, Regenerative Soil Consultant, Earthscaper, Land Steward, Teacher & Student of Nature.

I am on a mission along with my collaboration partners Ordanics  and The Walnut Project; to help reconnect as many people as we can; back to their garden, back community spaces, back to nature and back to the Earth. My passion is creating a healthy life through growing food that is healthy, organic, regenerative and holistic and building community that is based on giving and inclusivity. This is  not only satisfying, it brings a wealth of benefits.

Human health is directly related to plant and soil health. Whatever your diet, the food you consume and the lifestyle you lead. When we are grounded in the present and live from creative mindset we start to transform the way we live. We invest ourselves into more wholesome endeavours. From the food we eat, to the water we drink and bathe in to the amount of sun exposure and of course how much time we are investing in activities during our leisure hours we are constantly creating new cycles and patterns that become habits and a way of living.

We can start at home and in our community!

Imagine your garden as your own sanctuary; having your senses stimulated by the nature around you, feeling like you are part of it. Your Zen place!

What does that look like for you? Can you see it colours and shapes, hear the sounds of nature, smell the fragrances of the flowers, explore your garden whilst grounding your bare feet to the Earth.

Whether you would want a garden full of ornamentals, enjoy your fruits of an edible landscape, an area where you can take comfort and relax into your private space or a combination of them all…..

Then you are in the right place.

My journey of growing food began in 2010 at the local allotment, since then I have Gained my ‘Advanced Permaculture Design Certificate’ (APDC) and completed the in depth course ‘Regenerative Soil’, both with  Matt Powers, who is one the leading permaculture and regenerative soil teachers in the world. This has allowed me to create a holistic framework and have a deep understanding of plant and soil care.

Regenerative and Permaculture principles lay out very clearly how the holistic ecosystem over time is climatically resilient, economically profitable and promotes health and abundance for all living individual and collective organisms.

I am here to Design, Create and Nurture gardens, allotments and community spaces.
