Welcome to my Blog!

As a horticultural writer I often come across people, stories, tips, tricks and real gems of information that never really make their way out of my notebook. I am hoping to share a few of these insights here as well as my own gardening experiences, which includes getting my children excited about plants.

I believe that a strong connection with the garden and our landscape when we are young is vital. I am hoping that educating my children in "Green Living" and "Smart Gardening" will provide them with the fundamental building blocks necessary for them to live long and healthy lives, while also doing their bit in helping to create a sustainable and green future for all.

Happy Gardening!

Avocado Chips and more!

I have just stumbled across a recipe for Avocado chips. Yep, that's right ... Chips! Simply take an avocado, slice it up, coat it in egg and seasoned breadcrumbs and then fry the slices into chips and serve them with a tangy mayonnaise.

I'll shelve this one away until my crop comes in!
