The vaguely green-fingered thoughts of a rambling rose.

The Gardener's Rest Anniversary


It is 10 years since I posted the first entry on my little blog.

So much has happened since then.  We have moved house, featured my very first garden and the boys have grown up.  I've designed, redesigned, and redesigned again.  We've enjoyed flora and fauna, and we've lost our Angel.

There have been highs and lows along the way but enjoyment of the garden is what makes me tick.  It feeds my soul and settles my anxiety. 

On that note, I leave you with.....

The Front Garden
















The Tulips







The Yen Garden









Mugwart's Retreat









The Long Border









The Patio Borders











The Patio and Terrace







The Terrace Border






The Pond








Spring 2020 has been kind to the garden.  We may not be able to browse the garden centres for summer bedding plants this year for my pots and hanging baskets but the garden will be filled with colour and scent.

Here's to the next 10 years!
