Conversation with Heidi-Lee Gregory - Gardener and Allotmenteer

On the Irregular with Java Bere

In this episode I am talking to gardener and allotmenteer, Heidi-Lee Gregory.

In 2020, having experienced a sequence of losses and readjustments in her life, Heidi turned her back on twenty years in the corporate world and decided to start from scratch and completely change direction with her path.

We talk about Heidi’s move from her native South Africa to the UK, losing her father at a young age, then the process of losing her beloved grandparents, the realisation that she did not want to have children, despite always expecting to be a mother, and how her work in helping people design their dream garden fulfills her creative desires.

Welcome to my conversation with the extremely lovely Heidi.

You can find Heidi on instagram @heidilee.gregory and online at heidileegregory.co.uk.
