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!

What do you get when you cross ...

What do you get when you cross a polish rooster with a Isa brown hen?


After, two weeks, they look like the chicken version of Mr T!!! Let's hope they find their mojo soon and outgrow this awkward phase ...

Quail eggs

Oscar, my 6 year old son begged us to buy quail so that he could sell the eggs. After 6 months, his dream has finally paid off! 
The only problem is ... He needs to stop eating the profits!!


I may try and find some interesting recipes for him to try. May as well cultivate that mini MasterChef now!
