Meet Jemma
Owner and operator of The Eastern Field
I am a dedicated seed saver, gardener, and gardening consultant with a deep passion for helping people cultivate thriving, sustainable gardens.
With years of hands-on experience nurturing plants and preserving heirloom seeds, I specialise in guiding both new and experienced gardeners toward organic and regenerative growing practices.
Whether you're starting your first garden or looking to deepen your skills, my goal is to equip you with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to grow thriving edible landscapes that bring nourishment and joy to your home.
By sharing what I’ve learned, I aim to empower individuals and help build resilient, self-reliant communities rooted in a strong connection to the earth and to each other.
