Day 356: winter solstice

Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year

Solstice. The year turns once again and, ever so tentatively at first, we begin to leave the darkness behind. With an impeccable sense of timing the incessant mild, wet weather enters its last throes, a drier, cooler spell settling in to accompany betwixtmas reveries and quiet contemplations of next year’s garden. It’s a turning point for me too as I reach the final straight of this #gardeninspo365 project on which many of you have so kindly kept me company – the last ten of my daily blog posts from the garden and, while I won’t be posting with quite such obsessive frequency in 2020, there’s not a chance I’ll stop writing about plants and gardens. If there’s one thing we learn from attemping to attune ourselves to the rhythms of the natural world, it’s that while everything changes, everything somehow remains the same. The corollary of which being that while everything remains the same, everything also changes – I have a distinct sense that unpicking this puzzle will be at the heart of my work in the new year.  


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.
