Slowly but surely, our garden is becoming the space we've always imagined.

There's still lots eft to do. There are definitely moments where we stand back and think, "Why did we start this project?"

But then something flowers, a bee appears, or a corner finally comes together and suddenly it's all worth it.

A little reminder:

You do not need to start gardening in March to enjoy your garden in summer. June is still a wonderful time to sow flowers, grow herbs and fill pots with colour.

Gardening isn't about perfect timing, it's about taking that first step.

It's funny how things change.

I never imagined I'd spend so much time thinking about seeds, pottering around in the greenhouse and getting genuinely excited what might bloom next.

Now, some of my favourite moments happen in the greenhouse, in the garden, by simply checking on something we've planted a few weeks before.

Gardening has become so much more than a hobby. It's where I slow down, switch off and spend time together as a family 🌿

And usually with Sarabi supervising, of course.

We’re slowly creating our dream garden 🌿

From a blank canvas to an oasis full of flowers, herbs and cosy patio areas, it’s a labour of love. The patio project is now in full swing and we're not there yet, but join our journey and watch it grow (sorry for the cheesy pun) with us!

Your seedlings have sprouted, yay! 🌱

Now what? A few quick pointers:

Gradually introduce them to outdoor light (hardening off)
Keep them in small pots until strong enough for the garden
Avoid overwatering, they like a little patience as much as sunlight

A little care now means a lot more blooms (and less disappointment) later!

A little peek inside our greenhouse.

It’s where the magic starts - seeds get planted, little shoots peek through, and ideas for new gift sets are born.

It’s not always perfect, but it’s always satisfying and it’s a reminder of why we do what we do: to bring a bit of joy, green, and growth into other people’s lives.
