Being in nature is good for us.
We get out, we feel better. We think better. Interacting with nature helps us to align with our best selves and to reflect, learn and grow with peace.
Nature gets right in there and makes us want and need more.
Let me help you do something amazing for yourself and our wonderful Earth,
in your own outside space!
Eden Rooted:
user-friendly, everyday nature connection
‘Nature is teacher, scripture and sanctuary’ (Sikh nature philosophy)
Eden Rooted helps you to create an everyday relationship with nature.
In thousands of nature-centred societies around the world nature connection is every day, right where you live, woven into every part of life; season appropriate, situation appropriate, all year around. You work with and celebrate natural cycles and those of your own life in ways that bind it all and your community together.
We can do it too!
I help people with user-friendly, everyday nature connection right where they are. It's everything from making a beautiful, thriving natural garden as the heart of your life; to listening to nature’s guidance in big life issues like finding your purpose and learning inner balance; to weaving nature into worklife, keeping healthy, being creative, and staying happy.
Here you’ll find online courses; you can book me to come and help you with a project you have in mind; you can join a workshop; and find everyday ideas in the newsletters and videos. Contact me or sign up for more information - I’d love to keep in touch with you!
Nature...
natural gardens
An Eden Rooted urban garden: it's tiny but packed with medicinal herbs and food plants for humans and wildlife!
A natural garden won best in show in the 2024 Chelsea Flower Show. It took everyone by surprise and the media was full of it. Was it really a garden? Was this really gardening?
Fast forward a year to Chelsea 2025 and natural gardens are everywhere! Showcasing stunning native ecosystems, celebrated for their resilience, eco-friendliness, sustainability, low maintenance, healing properties - and astonishing, Gold Medal-winning beauty. Everyone wants a natural garden!
Anyone can have a natural garden, too, with any outside space, and they can experience for themselves everything that the gardening world woke up to with that first surprise win, and more. In your own space it can be whatever you want it to be, whether that's letting nature take over to create a joyful, riotous ecosystem of native plants and wildlife; or a conscious collaboration between nature and you in which you can create perhaps a memory garden, a pilgrimage garden or a food forest - the possibilities are as many as your imagination can come up with!
And it's the perfect way to help nature make miracles.
Nurture...
nature connection

'Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better', said Einstein.
We don’t need science to tell us how much we need nature (though it does). The more disconnected we become, the more desperately we long for it.
For most of us busy city-dwellers, nature connection has become a distant, passive experience often requiring a journey; it's become one of life's optional extras even though we know we need it much more than that. By contrast, Earth's nature-centred societies tell us that nature-connectedness is underpinned by an active, living relationship between humans and the land. It's a deep, essential part of everyday life.
The first bit of really great news is that we don’t have to travel anywhere for daily renewal and connection, and we don’t even need a lot of land - if we have an outside space of any size, we can get connecting right there! And the second is that we can absolutely relearn that relationship. And when we do, everything shifts - from our improved mental and physical health, to the health, happiness and diversity of the ecosystems, to our confidence in the future.

EDEN ROOTED
Eden Rooted brings nature and nurture together.
As you create a natural garden in your space, you’ll develop a relationship with it on all levels and learn a wise and grounded way to wellbeing that helps you experience life afresh.
Designing your space, creating balance between all your ways of knowing, sharpening your intuition, knowing and identifying all the new inhabitants of your ecosystem, understanding and working with the effects of the different energies of the daily and seasonal cycles, practising gratitude and reciprocity, paying attention to what nature is doing, and working with it in practical everyday ways that truly enhance your life, help you see your present and future with infinitely more clarity.
I'd love to keep in touch!

What is my purpose?
Nature guidance for the life you long for
Three-day self-directed retreat
Finding our purpose is one of the most difficult - but essential - challenges we face in our lives, with undeniably huge consequences. This deeply researched, inspirational retreat draws on cross-cultural wisdom. It aims to break down entrenched thinking and access all your hidden ways of knowing, as well as guidance from nature, to help you discern where you go next.
You need an open mind and undisturbed natural space for best results, and though three consecutive days would be perfect, you can run it at your own pace.

About
I'm Dr Juno
Since 2008 I’ve been weaving together strands of academic research into nature connection in communities around the world with decades of teaching and coaching experience and hands-on practice in permaculture, herbalism and foraging; together with a lifelong passion for nature which started as a six-year old whose daily refuge was a den in a Somerset hedge of hawthorn and nettles. Eden Rooted is the result - a practical resource for creating a life rooted in nature that is right and meaningful for you. Nothing gives me more joy than working on individual projects in which the space and the person grow together and the ancient human/land bond and understanding is remade.
