Gardening Duo Moy & Suzi Find Inspiration in Sussex's Women Gardeners
Moy and Suzi, a duo passionate about gardening, have found inspiration in a network of professional women gardeners from Sussex. They have been caring for the Old Vicarage garden in Firle for 18 years, embracing a sustainable approach that involves repurposing items and connecting with the wider landscape. Their journey has been intense, leading them to reframe weeds as plants that have arrived naturally, much like at Knepp, a rewilding project they admire.
Moy and Suzi's favorite garden is the Old Vicarage in Firle, designed by Lanning Roper. They have cared for it for 18 years, witnessing remarkable moments such as Sir David Attenborough filming there and the arrival of the first pair of beavers. Their Instagram handles, @moyfierheller and @suzi_turner_, showcase their journey.
