Greenhouse scrubbed, soil replaced with well-rotted manure, compost and topsoil. Bubble wrap added to insulate and keep cuttings warm. Early seeding starts in January. The 2026 kitchen garden is already in motion. #GreenHeart 💚

Thank you so much for your kind words. The stories in our gardens really are fascinating 🤗
I'll never look at my Matilija poppies and Bergenia in the same way after this morning's enlivening NHS talk. So many unexpected insights, from the history of lavender in my home state (WA), to the moving story of artist Clementine Hunter.
