I am a textile artist living in the Isle of Man. I live on a farm which provides plenty of inspiration and resources for my craft. I am a mixed media artist and love to experiment but I do have a particular love for working with plant dyed fibres. The dyes are prepared using the vast amount of material in my forest garden. The garden is primarily a wildlife refuge but also supplies abundant food, medicines and photographic opportunities. Contact me at pat.rhaa@gmail.com

Forest garden produce
I have a forest garden which produces large quantities of food. At present I am picking berried fruit; we are eating them fresh at the moment but also freezing plenty to have with my yogurt for breakfast during the rest of the year.The fruits I am harvesting at now are; raspberries, strawberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants, salmonberries and jostaberries. We had a barbecue today and one of my herb salads. I use many different ingredients in the salads. Today I had lettuce, fennel, calendula petals, meadowcranesbill petals, yellow archangel leaves and Munchen Bier radish pods.
