The Art Of Slowing Down
Cultivating nourishment through nature-focused growing and seasonal cooking.
About me
My name is Ella
I am a trained Horticulturist with over five years of growing experience, having worked across a range of settings including botanical gardens, private estates, garden design companies, and small-scale food production.
Alongside this, I am a whole foods Cook with a lifelong love of cooking, passionate about seasonal, nourishing meals made from real ingredients. I’ve also hosted and catered intimate events and retreats, bringing people together through food and nature.
My work is deeply grounded in sustainability, slow living, and a genuine connection to the earth.
About Ella's Plantas
Nourished by Nature
I offer bespoke sustainable and medicinal planting services UK alongside healthy event and retreat catering, both guided by organic principles and inspired by permaculture.
Sustainable Planting
I create beautiful, resilient herbal and wellness gardens that support both people and the planet. My services include tailored mood boards and planting schemes, hands-on planting projects using edible, medicinal, and pollinator-friendly species, discreet wiring systems and trellises for climbers, and seasonal garden health plans focused on soil vitality, pruning, and organic pest care. Every project is designed to enhance biodiversity and support long-term ecological balance.
Healthy Catering
Alongside garden work, I offer healthy catering for retreats and events, crafting seasonal, wholesome meals often inspired by the garden itself. Ingredients are locally sourced and organic wherever possible, designed to nourish both body and spirit. The food encourages mindful eating, connection, and a deeper relationship with the land.
On this site, you’ll find a growing collection of recipes, DIY herbal remedy tutorials, and blog posts about sustainable planting, medicinal gardens, organic gardening, and insights from nature-based, community-led projects.
