Ep. 10 - with Grace Alexander, Grace Alexander Flowers - a podcast by Amelia Rope

Could you imagine being a Child Protection Psychologist and Seedmonger? Grace Alexander, https://www.gracealexanderflowers.co.uk/ (insta: @gracealexanderflowers, twitter: gracealexanderflwrs) our guest for this episode. Stockists include the wonderful @TOASTclothing.

Discover how a structural reorganisation at work got Grace thinking what extra element in her work life was missing … one which was tangible. The next thing she was planning … to convert a tiny scrap of land behind her cottage into an orchard, area for compost and rosebeds. The rest is history.

Grace and I chat about coming from a family of workaholics, what she set up her business for and her thoughts on scaling up. We mull over definitions of success and failure, how she balances her two roles, her decision-making, how she takes care of herself and a lot more besides.

Find Grace’s favourite recipe in our latest blog post … Claire Thomson’s Nutmeg and Nettle Pizza.
