SEEDS AND SEAMS

I have lived a second hand lifestyle for as long as I can remember and writing about it seems a natural progression. My passions are dressmaking, buying secondhand items and my garden

How It All Began

This is a short intro recounting my gardening journey. I have been a passionate gardener all my life. I studied with the RHS over 25 years ago and I have an ever-growing library of horticultural books. I have always loved to grow flowers, planning my garden for the next year and taking photographs of the gardens I work in and visit.

Moving on 25 years to the summer of 2022 when I went to a local garden club talk. The speaker on that day was lamenting the lack of British flowers for sale. I spent 2022 and 2023 and part of 2024 growing flowers in the hope of being able to sell some. I eventually realised that in the space I have available it is not possible to produce the quantity to supply farmers markets so for now this blog, taking photographs and producing bouquets for family and friends is my focus. I am also helping to design and maintain my partners relatively low maintenance garden.
