"Hello!"
I'm Philippa,
the founder and director of Seed + Root. I have worked with children in a variety of settings for 12 years. I created Seed + Root Nature School to provide an alternative provision and natural sanctuary for children. I'm passionate about giving children freedom and autonomy over their play and learning, and strive to cultivate a connection between our community and the natural world, sharing the beauty of it together. I am a novice grower, enjoy foraging and playing about with natural dyes, and love having a go at new things!
I Home Educate my two young boys. You can usually find us exploring the woods, paddling in streams, or pottering about in the garden.
