Born in Lahore in 1930, Mehr Fardoonji came to England with her mother after her father died.
As a young woman in the 1950s she was part of India's Gandi-inspired Land Gift Movement - crossing the country by foot campaigning for land to be given to the poor.
Then family demands drew her back to England to Manchester where she had grown up.
Unable to settle in a town in the early 60s, she set-up one of the first organic market gardens, the Oakcroft Organic Garden near Malpas in Cheshire.
Maggie Ayre met her on a rainy day sheltering in her greenhouse.
