The Soil Web
Arts Activism and Climate Hope Worm Projects
With my husband David Venus we offer 'plug and play' toolkits for creating new eco systems in schools and community settings using composting techniques and tiger worm hotels.
Our pilot project was funded by North of the Tyne combined authority in 2024 and by The Rural Design Innovation Centre in 2023.
