An Amateur's beginnings
Hello there it's Nichola here!! A very new beginner to gardening. I've slowly come round to enjoying gardening more as a hobby rather than a chore (think it's came with age,
I've also found its so far given me a purpose & a chance to re focus on the simpler things in life and it also gives me a sense of escapism from everyday worries/stresses. After recently being in a very low time in my life I'm greatful for having a garden that can bring so much enjoyment!!
This was my appalling back garden 3/4 years ago. We badly let it go but a plan for another child spurred us on to sort it out. I've kept myself some borders to play with that are getting filled up nicely with bulbs,alpines,perennials,annuals & some climbers. I'm also growing up some seeds to plant up some baskets (will post a blog on making them up!)
I look forward to sharing more of my growing love & hopefully one day someone will find this a bit useful :)
Until next time xx
What a transformation Nichola, your new garden space looks wonderful. I hope you enjoy planting it and sharing it with your family.
ReplyDeleteThankyou kindly! I'm trying to get a good balance between practical maintenance for child friendly space but also keeping enough back for me to play around with too x
DeleteThat looks great, Nichola! It must have been a lot of hard work, but so worth it. Looking forward to further posts about the development of your garden. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThankyou Janet! We had hired help to do the major part of it but the rest of the work with planting & maintaining and tweaking is all become my hobby now!!
DeleteHello I look forward to reading, and seeing, how the garden progresses and develops. Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. Happy gardening. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteThankyou Flighty! Thankyou for giving some time to to read my first blog! The blog should hopefully evolve over the next year or 2 my front garden is getting some major thought & work put into it !! X
