Had a great day at Wellcome Collection. Started with a perspective tour of ‘Rooted Beings by CLAIRE | RATINON who also kindly signed my copy of her brilliant book ‘Unearthed’. Did some zine making with SOUNDS LiKE CHAOS and sweet-thang zine and made some Cyanotype prints!
Amazing book by CLAIRE | RATINON on race and reconnecting to nature through growing food. This one needs to be on your reading list! penguin.co.uk/books/444110/u…
What might a decolonial growing practice look like; One that refuses to participate in the continual erasure and denial of collective histories? Powerful little pamphlet with CLAIRE | RATINON challenging dominant value systems and narratives in food growing🔥🌱

What an incredible evening with 2 amazing game changing women. Thanks @fowlmouthsfood and CLAIRE | RATINON an evening we will not forget. We do still have a few signed copies for those that missed out.
What a hopeful piece by CLAIRE | RATINON today, 1 March 🌱 “As I write these words, I have a blanket on my knees but the window slightly open to allow a sliver of the cool breeze to blow in. The world feels fresh, enlivening and brimming with new energy.” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Delighted to see CLAIRE | RATINON and Sarah Langford nominated for Soil Association BOOM awards - their books are a small part of the work they both do to champion growing food in a way which nurtures the earth, wildlife, the climate, and people.
If you haven’t read CLAIRE | RATINON book Unearthed, it was published in paperback this week, and it’s a must read about connection, land, growing and feeling deep connection to land and food. And this is an article about the star of the book!! theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
In store now! UNEARTHED by CLAIRE | RATINON A powerful work of memoir and storytelling that will change the way we think about the natural world buff.ly/3WStjqw
