If only i had a book like this growing up. The gardens i would have grown at a much younger age… [ she says wistfully].

Do you know what this is? This is a horse chestnut, not to be confused with the non-poisonous sweet chestnut. Nature is such a wonder. If you roast this on an open fire, it could be your last. #nature #gardening #gardens

Today’s mantra: There’s no one to impress. So calm down and rest.
If my dog can do it, so can you!!

These are Peruvian Lillies (alstroemeria).You can find them in grocery stores. Beautiful. Did you know they’re naturally unscented. What you may not know is that more and more flowers are losing their scent due to prioritization of durability in transport & vase life in breeding. So Buy local.

Last Sunday i got to geek out and attend a live stream of Lucy Worsley’ (follow on Substack) interview Annie Gray about the history of food. There’s nothing i’m more interested in than garden related murders and the food history, esp recipes. I have the pre-1960s cookbook collection to prove it!

Visited one of my favorite independent bookshops today (besides my own). Happy to see it’s still welcoming all people through its book offerings. Love Avant Garden books. #bibliophile

This is what garden and botany obsession looks like. It’s not enough to garden and write stories from the garden, you need to spend your free time playing at creating a garden and learning about plant species, especially the poisonous ones!
