Hi, I’m Aimee - an illustrator, grower, and parent carer living in Icklesham, East Sussex with my wife and two children

A lot of my life is spent close to home and close to nature. Caring responsibilities mean my days are shaped by routine and presence, and growing has become both a creative outlet and a grounding part of that rhythm. My garden and allotment are where I get to slow down, notice things properly, and feel connected to something bigger than the day-to-day demands of life.

What started as a simple love of gardening has gradually deepened into a real interest in permaculture principles, as a way of thinking about care and regeneration both as a practical concept within the garden and as a broader philosophical one.

I am registered plant health professional, have a seed marketing licence (licence number 8086) and I’m on the APHA register of authorised distance plant sellers (licence number 154791). I’m working towards becoming an associate member of the Royal Society of Biology under their plant health professional standards. Leisurely, I enjoy recording flora (and fauna) and I’m a member of the Sussex Botanical Society.

Alongside growing, I illustrate the things I see and experience: plants, seasonal shifts, details from hedgerows and marginal spaces and turn these into prints and products chosen with sustainability in mind.

This space brings all this together - prints, plants, and seeds made and grown slowly, with attention and care, and shaped by a life lived in close connection with nature.
