We are the Jolly family :) Jo(n) +(Ho)lly and our beautiful soul of a daughter, Minnie, plus our dear ‘top dog’, Tilly, not to mention the chickens and a huge amount of wild friends we call family. 

We spent nights camping on their land, enjoying clear night skies back in 2019 and dreamed of a space of love and healthy connection for all. 

In the midst of covid we knew our life in Hertfordshire wasn’t the right fit and creating a natural nature led future was the focus. So on one summer solstice camping trip we saw a beautiful Strawberry Moon and It was the night that Jolly Moon was born. 

We started to sympathetically clear areas and engaged an Ecologist so we could work with the natural space we have. To our delight the land has been left to nature for 35 years and before this was used as a mono crop cereal field. 

The land is chalk download, an area of habitat that has declined 96% since World War 2 thanks to industrial scale agriculture. It is precious and we are grateful for the opportunity to work with it.

Holly is a qualified level 3 Forest School practitioner, space holder, singer and creative teacher and Jon worked in impact investment within the finance sector promoting top down change and when that didn't seem to work he looked to grassroots, bottom up change and founded Myndful Mushrooms. (www.myndfulmushrooms.co.uk) - one hell of a career change!

Jolly Moon is a hub for positive movement, connection, kindness and community interwoven with a deep respect for our planet and all that live here and most importantly giving the future generation hope.
