About Darshan
With over a decade of horticultural experience and a deep reverence for the spiritual dimensions of agriculture, Darshan is an award-winning Biodynamic gardener and educator. He’s been growing food, herbs, and flowers for the Michael Hall School community since 2024.
In his early twenties, a crisis of meaning led Darshan to a profound awakening while tree planting in the Scottish Highlands. This experience set him on a lifelong journey of connecting with the spiritual forces of nature through gardening, education, and community.
Darshan sees the garden as a living artwork, where we engage in a grand cosmic dance that nourishes both body and soul. His joy in tending the land and growing food is contagious, and his teaching weaves together skill, passion, and spiritual insight.
Testimonials from past participants of courses Darshan has run
“Thank you for sharing your passion for growing with us Darshan, what an amazing experience to spend a few days with like-minded people and an inspiring teacher. I have learnt a lot. The lunches were not only healthy and delicious but also very representative of how we can actually cook the things that we can grow ourselves. Thank you!!!”
“I found the course an amazing introduction to biodynamics and I have gained a deeper understanding of cosmic and earthly forces that influence plant growth and development. It has helped me better connect to the spirit of my garden and I feel even more appreciation and gratitude in being able to grow my own food.”
“Darshan teaches this wonderful introduction to the beauty of Biodynamic gardening with kindness that inspires confidence in taking learned practices into our own gardens.”
