Welcome to Lovely Greens and the garden of Tanya Anderson. This channel shows how to grow a beautiful garden using no-dig (no-till) and organic gardening principles. You'll also find creative DIY garden projects and ideas for using homegrown vegetables, herbs, and flowers to make delicious food, handmade soap, and natural skincare.

Everything you'll find here is about creating a greener and more self-sufficient life.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAGGIE 🥳 She's five years old today and the sassiest little garden cat in the Isle of Man! A tin of tuna got opened in celebration, and she's currently spending the day exploring the fields and sleeping in the sun. What a life 😻
