Anna Matilda, often referred to as ‘Nanna’ Anna, is founder of The Urban Nanna, an educational business which specialises in teaching people about traditional skills, crafts and methods of living. ‘Nanna’ Anna is a former primary teacher with training in horticulture, psychology and fine arts. Through TV, radio, events, and print media, she shares traditional knowledge and skills with people around the world, much like grandmas used to do with their children and grandchildren. As well as reviving traditional ways of cooking, preserving, and crafting, she focuses heavily on permaculture and sustainable living, where gardening and zero-waste principles are part of everyday life. Her new internationally released book, Everyday Permaculture, has already been a huge success, with extracts featured Women’s Weekly, New Idea, Organic Gardener, Good Food Guide, and Frankie Magazine. Anna was also included in Better Homes & Gardens’ inaugural Creator Awards.
