Blog Awards



I am very excited to have been chosen as the featured blog on the GardeningBenches UK Blog Awards.


A bench offers a relaxing spot to enjoy your garden.

My tortoise bench sits under a fig tree. In the summer it is fully shaded by the tree.

Bring Spring Indoors..


 Tired of the dreary days of  winter?   Add some flowers for a burst of spring.
I love watching the Iris buds open. They last a good week in fresh water and bright location.




A simple way to display your favorite tulips. 



Put that old crock to good use. I put two vases inside the crock and filled them with Stargazer Lilies, Snapdragons, twigs and Hydrangeas.  You can smell the Lilies as soon as you enter the house. 

Welcome Spring!!
