Hey friends, I've posted this one outside my usual Sunday slot. Had to clear a bit of admin behind the scenes before hitting publish. Hope you enjoy it 💕 Oh, and if you’re in the southern hemisphere: HAPPY SPRING! 🌸🌵🌼

Two things!
1) Your gal goofed up. I’ve gotta redo the video I was working on, so no upload this week. Ah well, it happens and you learn!
But more importantly:
2) You lot are the actual best. Thank you for the love on last week’s video (Myth of the Perfect Garden), for being my people and for helping me make this a kind place to land for curious, learn-as-you-grow gardeners. 💕 Have a great weekend!

Hey friends, a quick note to say there won’t be a new video this weekend- I’m sorry about that! But I’m happy to report we had an arborist in this week to trim back some trees and now the garden is FLOODED with light. It’s made such a difference ☀️

It’s rained a lot since then but I managed to get a photo of the garden basking in its brief moment in the sun. Our plants are gonna be ok! 🌵👌🏽

See you next week 💕

Hey friends 🎄 I got ahead of myself thinking I could squeeze in video before the New Year. There’s too much going on with the new house and Christmas this week. So, the last video was actually the final one for the year.
But we did find a last minute moment to get the tree up!
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your support this year, especially these last few weeks. Your kindness and encouragement have truly meant the world. Wishing you all the most wonderful holiday season. I’ll see you in the New Year with a full tour of the new place. Until then, take care and happy holidays 🥂
