Erin Armstrong , Garden Co-ordinator
Our Garden Coordinator, Erin, was a primary school teacher before taking a career break to study horticulture at SRUC. She’s been at Amisfield since August 2022 and works alongside our board of trustees and our wellbeing and outreach worker to support volunteering sessions and group visits to the garden.
Louise Lissaman, Wellbeing & Outreach Worker
Louise is passionate about plants and gardening and even more passionate about the benefits that community gardening can bring to people’s physical, mental, emotional and social wellbeing. As a former HR Manager, she has many years’ experience in coaching and mentoring, training and development and project delivery. Her horticulture training and experience of working as a gardener complete the skill set that enables her to deliver well-being and employability support at Amisfield. When not at work she can usually be found in her own garden – reaping the wellbeing benefits for herself.
