It has given me the confidence to research and try things I hadn't thought about before. Thank you Rachael"Sarah, Berkshire"Urban Design OBU benefited greatly from a workshop on urban food production using the UFP toolkit by Rachel Hammond of Edge landscaping. The students managed to develop a masterplan for a global city site measuring the productivity of their designs, management issues as well as understanding the social and environmental benefits of UFP. The workshops are compelling and effective for valuing UFP."Regina L. Oxford Brookes UniversityAbout the TutorsRachel is a Landscape Architect &amp; Urban Designer specialising in regenerative food production. She designs spaces for food, soil health and wildlife and biodiversity, as well as maximising harvests and reducing the work needed to achieve it.She learnt to grow food from her Grandparents in Jersey who grew much of their own produce on their acre - including Jersey Royal Potatoes! Rachel still loves potatoes.Growing food all her life, and commercially for the last 10 years, Rachel has worked with CSA, farms, market gardens, urban farms, community gardens and corporate businesses to increase food production and efficiency, whilst reducing labour and costs.Rachel founded edge, a non-profit design agency, with the main aims of designing urban food production systems, growing food within whole ecosystems and educating others on food production systems and ecological farming practices.Georgina is trained in education, wildlife gardening and pond creation, heading up our schools and education area of work.She has a passion for edible flowers and loves adding these into all of our growing systems, as well as bog gardens, mini ponds and pollinator planting.Georgina has been working with edge for the last 8 years and would love every school to be growing food in some way to support children learning about food and nature.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/a8f9d4a0-fb86-11f0-a924-831aae50cab1-rimg-w987-h740-dc464731-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/a9281090-fb86-11f0-86af-698749d77838-rimg-w555-h740-dc647446-gmir.jpg
