I’ve had lots of questions about growing herbs lately, so here’s a throwback to creating last year’s planter! 🌿

They really are so simple to grow, and there’s nothing better than having fresh herbs right outside your door for adding to summer drinks, attracting pollinators, and bringing a little extra beauty to the garden.

My favourite has to be borage 💙 The bees absolutely love it, and its beautiful edible flowers make the perfect addition to a refreshing drink.

What’s your favourite herb to grow?

Featuring: Seeds, Compost and Plantable Pots

During the national lockdown, I sowed my very first seeds 🌱

At a time when the world felt uncertain, growing something from seed gave me a sense of hope, a reminder that even the smallest beginnings can grow into something beautiful with time, care and patience. What started in my own garden soon grew into moments of connection within our community garden too.

Sowing the 'Seeds of Hope' Bundle by Fothergill’s felt especially meaningful in my garden and the community garden. Filled with pollinator-friendly flowers and ornamental grasses, it’s a collection designed to bring colour, wellbeing and life into our shared spaces.

Even more beautifully, 15% from every packet sold supports The Children’s Society and the vital work they do for young people across the UK 💚

Because sometimes hope starts with something as small as planting a seed.🌱🌸

Are you growing tomatoes this year? 🍅

I’m already looking forward to those warm summer days, picking fresh tomatoes straight from the vine to the plate. ☀️🌿

A little throwback to last year’s beautiful crop, grown from Fothergill’s seeds. My job for today and over next week is potting them on and supporting them.

Have a beautiful day, Cara x
