Secret Meadow consists of three acres of land, a large horticultural shed with office space, and a bunch of people with ideas. The site is currently under development as a permaculture project and is the base for a consultancy, two artists and a social enterprise:

  • Nicky Saunter runs Secret Meadow Consulting, a Responsible Business Consultancy, specialising in managing for change, marketing local products and building an ethical business. Nicky also offers a professional photography service, teaches photography workshops and exhibits work as part of Somerset Artweek and the 10 Parishes Art Festival.
  • Local social enterprise Learning From The Land is based here. See www.learningfromtheland.co.uk for details of their sustainable living training courses, CPD programmes, schools workshops and open days.
  • Local artists Bob and Frank Blaker share a studio on site where they carry out planning and experimental work using natural materials.
  • The site provides greenery for local flower business, JW Blooms. See www.jwblooms.co.uk for more about their local chemical-free growing, postal bouquets and completely compostable wreaths.
