Cloda McGrath

Retail Manager

“I am definitely a novice grower and have failed many more times than I have succeeded, but that won’t stop me!”

GROW HQ’s focus on plant-based diets and its zero waste ethos fits with Cloda’s own principles. At home and at work she aims to be as sustainable as possible. She’s a vegetarian, although finds herself moving towards a more vegan way of life. She’s conscious about reducing her waste having learned about the negative impact single-use plastic and food waste has on the environment.

With the HQ gardens her daily view at work, she’s determined to grow veg that Head Grower Richard would give a grunt of approval… before requesting his morning mug of black coffee!
