Garden Projects

When I realised I wanted to spend the rest of my life surrounded by flowers it was as if I'd solved a puzzle I'd always been pondering.

But growing flowers comes with a responsibility. They're the food source for so many creatures who share our outdoor space. Here's the start of 'project pollinators' in my garden.

In the darkest depths of winter on a dull and dreary evening I was dreaming of plant fairs and garden shows that seemed like a distant memory.

Spring is on its way and so is the start of horticulture fairs season. Here's a list of plant fairs and garden clubs here in Nottinghamshire.

After a major overhaul in our garden this year and the realisation of so many possibilities I became smitten by horticulture.

Here's the story of how I fell in love with my garden.

After receiving the advice of a wise gardener, like getting a tip on a dead cert bet, I decided to explore some of the plant nurseries in and around my local disctrict of Gedling in Nottinghamshire.

Here's what I found.

Alpines have the same characteristics as good friends. They're sweet and generous and they stay with you through really bad weather.

This is a little rockery project I made for my alpines.
