Hello and welcome,

I’m Nicky Jenner and over the last 20 years I’ve been supporting incredible people and organisations around the world - from Belize to Namibia - who are dedicated to conserving and restoring the natural world around them. 

Today, my focus is also close to home where I live and garden in the heart of Devon, England. Here, together with my young family, we are creating a biodiverse haven in which our wellbeing and nature both thrive. It is a process and a place of magic and one that has been instrumental in helping me overcome depression, anxiety and burnout.

Co-creating a garden with nature can gift you moments of connection, beauty and wonder in your every day. For me, it has been medicine for mind, body and soul.

Yet I know from experience and in working with others that there can be obstacles that stop us taking action to create a garden we love and that hold us back from enjoying the time we do have in our garden and the many benefits it gives us.

Perhaps your garden feels like one more thing on an already long to-do list, a burden or a chore. You might feel ‘behind’ or disconnected from your garden, daunted by the prospect of gardening or unsure where to begin. Perhaps you worry that you don’t know enough or that you don’t have ‘green fingers’. Maybe spending time in your garden feels like a luxury, something for you that you struggle to prioritise. You are not alone.

I created Lights On Gardens for you.

An online space in which I support you to reconnect with your garden and grow your inner and outer worlds so that you can learn to garden in ways that leave you feeling nourished, connected and motivated to create a garden you love.

I want nothing more than for you to fall in love with your garden and the life it supports, loving it as it is and knowing it holds potential for magic.
