A bit about Linda:

Linda Crutchett has worked in food and health for over 30 years. Linda’s passion for delicious, quality food started in the kitchen and quickly spread in to the garden. She is on a pathway to grow all her households fruit and vegetables. In 2014 she worked with Urban Roots in Glasgow, teaching people to grow their own food and in 2018 returned to Adelaide and supported the Food Embassy to develop their Food Matters program on sustainable food in communities. Linda now chooses to spend her time in Esmerelda’s Garden and in the community, sharing tips on how to garden affordably in the spaces available in our homes, owned or rented.
