Rachel Purcell: Growing my own food helps me switch off from my phone

Rachel Purcell: growing plants and veg has helped keep the Tipp woman in balance
There’s nothing as satisfying as visiting a loved one and bringing food that you’ve grown yourself. That’s what Rachel Purcell discovered after she started growing her own produce at her home in Co Tipperary.
Rachel, who moved back to her home county and set up her own business, Fetch Coffee, during the pandemic, says she can trace her green fingers back to her childhood and adds she has always found a way to stay in touch with nature, even when living in an urban environment.
