Welcome!
My goal here is to sprinkle a bit of beauty, joy, and a dash of floral escapism into your life. Together, we’ll delve into creating a flower garden that perfectly balances the natural and the nurtured, all while keeping it relaxing and easy-going. And the best part? We’ll be doing this with a keen eye on sustainable practices, minimising the hard work and being kind to your wallet.
Hi there my lovely, tidiness in my garden is not really my thing. The natural world and tidiness just don’t work together, plus who’s got the time anyway? As long as the basics are taken care of, I don’t worry about everything being perfect. Instead, I let nature take the lead and create a magic all of its own.
Over the years, I’ve been on a mission to figure out how to be an effective and productive gardener without spending a fortune. So yes, you could say I’m a lazy gardener that wants all of the flowers without too much back breaking work.
I’m really excited to share what I’ve learned with you, so you can find time to sit back, relax and enjoy your garden too.
