My work: Greenan Maze, Rathdrum, Co. Wicklow
Lives in Wicklow, Ireland
My husband Will Wheeler and I run a small family nature farm in Co. Wicklow called Greenan Maze which has been open to the public (seasonally) since 1996. We have three children who help us out now and again on the farm, two cats, a dog called Luna, farm animals and loads of work to do on the farm especially during the summer months!
