Gardening | Garden Design | Meeting fascinating garden people
March 27th, 2010 2 Comments
Gardening can be quite a lonely pastime. Hours spent pottering amongst the borders tending those delicate blooms and marvelling at nature as she goes about her business. Don’t get me wrong I am very comfortable with my own company but sometimes it’s good to share your experiences with others. Debate designs, discuss plants and share passion for gardens.

April 29th, 2009 No Comments
For many of us, a conservatory is high up on our ‘wish list’ – a room to be used all year round, a bridge between the house and garden, a calm and tranquil space that lets us shelter from the elements but allows us to enjoy (almost) being outside. The thought of being able to [...]
