Gardening for the Novice
For all novice gardeners to help them along their gardening journey
From the time I learned to walk, my granny has been teaching me to garden, as an older teen I started gardening on my own, in pots mainly. I grew dwarf sunflowers and my own vegetables. Now, that my grandparents are in their 80’s, they have a much more relaxed approach to their garden, pottering around when the sun is out. This means that keeping their beautiful garden looking vibrant is my job, and I love it! I am very lucky to have such an amazing garden to look after, a rarity so close to London. At 27 I have the greenest thumb of anyone I know from my peer group. I make sure to spend time in the back garden every day, and also have more than a few house plants to care for.
Now that spring has arrived, and summer is hopefully around the corner, I would very much like to share my love of gardening, and hopefully help the novice gardeners among you!
Gardening can be whatever you want it to be. You might want to dip your toe in the water and get a plant or two. Or jump in at the deep end and re-invent your back garden, ready for a summer of barbecues! The principles here…
