Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
A walk through the London streets in the run up to Christmas, yielding me perhaps the most unlovely garden detail, though one I can’t help but return to consistently. While lights sparkle and primped evergreens shine out glossily all around, hanging on doors, spilling over window boxes and – festooned with tinsel – suffocating slowly with their roots chopped off in centrally heated interiors, out in the cracks and crevices of the pavement, among the fag butts and heaven knows what else, nature gets on with it. Grass taking hold between the curb stones, bittercress in the angle of the paving and the wall of a house, unconcerned by our festivities. Life, pulsing with green energy, sharing space with us, apparently oblivious to what we’re up to, a constant comfort in this most hectic of months.
A year of garden coaching
I’m very excited about my new venture – it’s a way for me to work with more people than I can physically get around to, helping them to make the very best of their gardens in a way that suits the life they lead. If you’d like to find out more, please click here to book for a January 2020 start.
