Hello and Welcome

Welcome to Lights On Gardens, a restorative online membership created for you, to help you nurture a relationship with your garden so you can grow your inner and outer worlds in ways that nourish your wellbeing and allow nature to flourish.

Through Lights on Gardens we support you to shift from feeling uncertain, overwhelmed and disconnected from your garden to inspired, supported and with the confidence to take action so you can make the most of the time you have in your garden and co-create a garden you love.

By transforming your relationship with your garden to one of connection, wonder and nourishment you and your garden can grow together.

Lights On Gardens is a collaboration between conservationist and plantswoman, Nicky Jenner, and master neurocoach and founder of Lights On learning, Julia Black, with wellbeing and nature at its heart.

Because when you learn to co-create your garden in tune with yourself, your site and nature, you can create a magical space that brings more curiosity, connection and hope into your every day life. It is medicine for mind, body and soul.

Gardening in this way has impact. Gifting you moments of wonder, beauty and calm, enhancing your wellbeing, and providing vital habitat for wildlife. 

Through your garden you can make a real difference.

And when we come together in community, imagine what becomes possible for ourselves and the life our gardens support..

Reconnect with wonder, joy and hope through your garden & learn to garden in ways that support your inner growth and wellbeing, inspire creativity and nurture nature.

Nicky Jenner

I am a conservationist, gardener and flower grower, mentor, writer and photographer living in the heart of rural Devon with my young family. I’ve always felt deeply connected with nature and the rhythms of the living world and have been gardening since I was young. Growing up my dream was to create a haven for wildlife. Today we are doing just that, creating a garden in which nature and our family can thrive. It’s a process and a place of magic. But it’s not always been this way. Depression, anxiety and burnout have been recurrent challenges in my adult life. Reconnecting deeply with nature through my garden has been a key part of my journey to overcome poor mental health and reconnect with a life I love. So when I say nature and gardening can be powerful for nourishing mind, heart and soul, it comes from living it. Through Lights On Gardens I share my passion, experience and understanding of the natural world to inspire and support you in your gardening journey.

What members are saying…

  • “My relationship with my garden is changing so much since joining Lights On Gardens. Totally for the better. It is so different to any other gardening course. On a totally different level. It settles the brain.”

  • “It's a space that has helped me to connect with my garden. I've got to appreciate it more exactly as it is and to realise there is much potential for growth. This is a nice place to be, because I can enjoy being in it and love it and recognise that I can do things that I hadn't thought of before. It has helped me to take ownership of it. I used to sometimes get help to keep on top of it, but I feel more now that I have my own relationship with it … I notice things in it and love it more. I slow down to appreciate it. I feel that I can try things out, and I feel less worried about making mistakes. We can do things and see what happens.  I love the life of it.” 

  • “This enlivening, rich tapestry you've created and shared stays with me when I putter about the garden, pondering, seeing new partnerships not seen before, not rushing ahead in action but observing a while longer, and soaking in much more. Thank you Nicky, thank you so much.”

What’s Included?

Connection

Small group calls once a month to support your garden journey. Calls embrace celebration, connection and community. We meet you exactly where you are and support you in nurturing a relationship with your garden and taking action to create a garden you love.

Community

A private online community in Slack away from the noise, scrolling and distraction of social media. It’s a space where you can bring focus to you and your garden, and support one another as you learn and grow together so you can make the most of the time you have when you step into your garden.

Wisdom

Share your challenges, questions and receive guidance and support when you need it. Lights On Gardens is not a course nor is there a lot of content to consume. It is a co-creative experience in which we learn and grow together, through our gardens.
