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!

Does anyone else think that Broad Beans should really have been given the common name of Kidney Beans?

Somewhere - Ethical Farming

As an avid West Side Story lover, I was instantly drawn to the soundtrack used on a commercial the other night ... and then to see the content made me further investigate other clips etc on YouTube by the same organization and others about ethical farming.

We all need to ask where our food is coming from!
