About me

I'm new to gardening, my children now grown up and less likely to kick balls around the garden I have re-designed the area (with alot of help from a friend) and have been enjoying the process of choosing and planting. With her generous donations I have a good framework of plants to start me off.

My aim is to have a garden full of beautiful flowers which I can photograph and paint, instead of having to visit gardens to find references! I will be setting aside a small area for a few veggies too.
