About Me
My name is Lucy Bell, and I am the founder of Growing Wild, a Kildare based environmental education company. I am a organic horticulturist, horticulture tutor, environmental educator, and a trained Forest School Leader, with years of experience facilitating in a variety of outdoor settings, enabling for people both young and old to connect to nature. I am based in Donadea, North Kildare, and have realised a lifelong dream to buy my own land, where I am running adult courses and children's Forest School programmes.
