Kindness and compassion go a long way. Tradescantia it is.

Ooh, we've been talking about a sensory pathway but a whole sensory garden would be amazing!

Time lapse is one of my favourite things. Some will say bread is one of their favourite things. Our 2 things are married here.

Building healthy soil is integral to having a productive garden. If you’re looking for a subject to keep you sharp over the winter, there are plenty of books, MOOCS, and videos that will get you growing in the right direction.

Whoa! A whole day of garlic learning!!!
