About Sophie


Space to Grow is led by Sophie Skinner, an organic gardener and permaculture designer based in the West of Ireland. She comes from a family where all grandparents were gardeners, so growing things was never a novelty - it was just part of everyday life.

That background still shapes how things are done. When growing flowers Sophie focuses on healthy soil, seasonal choices, and plants that make sense for the place they’re grown in. All while being followed around by her Jack Russel shaped shadow.

Sustainability is practical and straightforward. Green waste from floral work is composted where possible, single-use plastics are avoided, and materials are chosen carefully.

The aim is simple: honest, seasonal flowers grown and arranged with care, and a way of working that feels grounded, local, and sustainable.
