Anya says: “Like so many people, my personal journey includes lots of dark and sad times, and of course happy times. But the constant has been the garden, of growing plants, and being me, outside. The future of the planet and wildlife is one of my priorities and is intrinsic to the videos I make and content I produce. I also have what I call my ‘superpower’ (diagnosed as ADHD a few years ago) so I’m really aware of what I need, as an individual, to keep me well – and that is gardening and nature.”
