For ten long years I lived in a second floor flat with no outside space to call my own. Every day I longed to have a garden and imagined how lovely it would be to sit outside on a warm spring morning, to enjoy a hot coffee and some breakfast whilst being serenaded by birdsong, then to spend an afternoon pottering amongst the borders, pulling a weed or two and sitting back to enjoy the delicious colours and scents of the surrounding flowers...
My husband and I moved into this house last January, just weeks after I had given birth to our first child. We were adjusting to parenthood and had plenty of decorating and renovating still to do in the house, so the garden had to be last on our list of priorities.
But here we are, 14 months later. We are settled. The house is finished. The baby is now a toddler. I can finally get in the garden!!! Yippee!!! Oh wait... That's not a garden.... That's a mess.
Hmmm..... turning this wasteland into a cottage garden is going to take a lot of time and hard work!!
I need some help!
I need some help!
I've been in contact with many landscape gardeners recently. We finally made our choice and I'm very excited that work begins on Monday!! Yay!!
I decided to create this blog to share my gardening journey with you. I have no experience, I have everything to learn, but I will enjoy my experiences and will hopefully learn from my mistakes. I have a vision of what the end result will look like, let's just hope I get there in one piece!
Let the fun begin!
