Carol Bruce

Born in suburban South East England in 1969, Carol Bruce grew up with an unshakeable desire to live in the woods, and an innate drive to examine the forces that stand between us and our connection to nature. After studying economics at the University of Cambridge, she began methodically exploring new ways of relating to the natural world that can bring sustainability and artistry onto the same page, resulting in the creation of a garden and a philosophy that are a fusion of both. She opens her award-winning garden at Old Bladbean Stud for charity through the National Garden Scheme, and shares the garden’s progress through the seasons via Facebook. Carol makes nature-inspired jewellery for a living, which is marketed through her Etsy shop Reweaving the Rainbow, and she spends all her spare time peacefully walking in the woods.
