About us
We are Glen and Glenis Ragout, originally from Trinidad and Tobago but currently living in England.
We have an allotment (community space for planting) where we are passionate about growing our own vegetables.
Being in the garden transforms us back to being in the Caribbean: the wildlife, bees, butterflies. Amazing!
Gardening has changed our lives - we feel better both physically and mentally. Growing your own food is magical!
We certainly experience joy, peace and happiness connecting with nature.
And of course, the vegetables taste superior to the ones we buy from the supermarket.
However, what we have noticed is the lack of diversity of gardeners we see. We would like to contribute to changing this.
We certainly want to encourage everyone to plant but feel there needs to be some additional inspiration to encourage people like us to enjoy the benefits of gardening.
While Glen looks at gardening from a perspective of getting the best fruits and vegetables. I on the other hand , as a designer, look at the colours, shapes and textures of what the garden has to offer.
We are hoping this combination would encourage you to see gardening through our eyes and motivate you to plant and enjoy nature.
