Jenny is very passionate about chickens, and is an advocate of them being an integral feature of gardening, as well as being fun and entertaining creatures which deliver so much more than eggs to our lives.
Jenny is equally passionate about growing and preserving food sustainably, plus creating diversity in nature, not just with soil and plants, but the creatures that inhabit it.
