As a community garden facilitator, Tracey guides people in shaping their surroundings and imagining new ways of belonging. When communities lead, gardens become living, breathing civic spaces for connection, creativity, and collective care This can involve addressing biodiversity loss, pollution, limited access to fresh food, or the loss of green spaces to private development. It also involves creating healing spaces for people to slow down and connect with nature to improve well-being.
As an artist-gardener, Tracey collaborates with arts organisations to explore how gardening can support both social and environmental justice. This work requires time and is rooted in long-term relationships, local knowledge, using sustainable materials where possible, and a deep respect for slow growth, maintenance, and care as creative acts.
