About Darshan Robson:
I’ve been inspired by agriculture and gardening since 2008 when a transformational experience tree planting in the Scottish Highlands brought me closer to the silent power of nature. Since this time, I have wanted to be part of positive change and I’ve worked on different farms, gardens, and land-based organisations in the UK and Europe.   Since 2024, I have been running and redeveloping a Biodynamic market garden within the Victorian walled garden at Michael hall Waldorf school. I’m interested in a spiritual and ecological approach to growing plants that respects the delicate interwoven relationships in nature and embraces the mysterious and magical context of life. My produce is sold directly to the local community, to the school and I also sell wholesale to local businesses. I like to garden and learn through direct experience and contemplation, to gain a greater understanding of the key aspects and principles of plant care I’ve been a part of the step by step course since 2018.
