Laura is a plantswoman and natural skincare formulator. Growing up in Birmingham, she valued the seasonal indicators provided by garden and wasteland plants. Interested in people and our interrelationships with the world around us, past, present and future, she read archaeology and anthropology at Cambridge and developed a career in marketing and insight. A decade working with National Trust reinforced her awareness of the importance of nature in our daily lives and inspired the creation of her artisanal brand, Field Fresh Skincare. Now living in the Cotswolds, her time is shared between family, hedgerows, garden, workshops, desk and lab as she blends traditional and modern approaches to bring the skincare benefits of temperate plants to all.
