Empowering People

The two souls that make up Seed 2 Soul workshops are Nicole and Evan Pemberton. They came together with the common goal of sharing their love of wholefoods, sustainable living and community education to launch Seed 2 Soul in 2014. Since then they have run workshops throughout Sydney and regional NSW.

“Our goal is to empower and inspire others by teaching the value of seasonality and sustainability. We bring years of practical experience in the kitchen and garden integrated with nutritional knowledge. Our workshops are hands-on, fun and focused on sharing skills and building confidence.”

She has facilitated educational programs with the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation, Inner West Council and Marrin Weejali Aboriginal Corporation. Nicole is also a strong advocate for “slow clothing” and uses natural dye techniques to upcycle fabric and clothing for a zero-waste lifestyle. She is passionate about horticulture and gardening and has worked at a Community Supported Agriculture Farm in Yarramundi, NSW, a certified organic herb farm in Allens Rivulet, Tasmania, and numerous community garden programs across Australia.
