About me

I am a keen gardener able to indulge since retiring. We moved here in January 2005 and feel very fortunate to live in such a beautiful, tranquil place. Our garden is two-thirds of an acre and takes a lot of upkeep! We have a stream running through it. The soil is good but has a quantity of large chunks of rock in it which I hit when I dig! The garden is not low maintenance, and I'm a plantaholic. I love flowers, perennials especially, as well as shrubs and Clematis. I do make good use of my greenhouse for seeds and plug plants to fill gaps. I'm always up for new projects in the garden as you will see from my photos. I don't grow vegetables except tomatoes and cucumbers in the greenhouse. Oh, and I love orchids, too - but indoors. I am delighted that the garden is in the 2009 NGS 'Yellow Book'. The dates were June 4th and 11th this year, but I will post the dates for next year as soon as they've been decided.
