Meet the founder

Meet Igea, founder of wildlynear.

I am a florist, former architect, academic, and community advocate based in Oxford. Throughout my career, my work has focused on how the design of our environments can foster real-world social connection and sustainable, everyday ecologies.

I founded wildlynear after realising how disconnected we can become from the soil and our immediate communities. Guided by a vision of sustainable living, I wanted to create a platform that brings people back together through shared stewardship of the earth.

wildlynear aims to bridge generational gaps and weave stronger neighbourhood ties by connecting local growers, neighbours, and families through the simple beauty of homegrown produce and flowers.

We are currently building this community from the ground up, and your voice matters.

Be part of what’s growing.
