Green Green Grass


Gardening is my new hobby, so enjoyable and always a good excuse for inspiration...and relaxing at the same time.

Colour, texture and height, an example in this RHS 2007 Chelsea Flower Show garden.

Growing up in Australia, gardening was a completely different experience, often dangerous and too many spiders to make it enjoyable. The colours and textures of Australian plants are so different too - vivid colours, but often against background of dead grass. The only flowers in our garden were Bird of Paradise and Frangipani, beautiful in their own way back not like the soft, gentle hues of England.

There are so many wonderful websites with inspiring gardening products and here are some of my favourites:
