Welcome to my blog!

Here, I journal the transformation of our tiny London backyard into a dream garden. I hope you will like it!

A dream garden, for me, is an outdoor space filled with rich colours and seductive scents, offering beautiful flowers, interesting textures and tasty morsels for our delectation. Also a source of nourishment for the local wildlife - birds, butterflies and bees. A space to enjoy with my SO, friends, family, and, of course, our cats. Somewhere to sit and have coffee, or even a meal, and a tiny patch of grass to lie on in the fleeting sunshine of the English summer. And, we're almost there...

Unless stated otherwise, all photos are by me (or my SO) and are clickable.

Beautiful Autumn

I love the crisp, clear autumn days, even when they're a bit chilly.  The first golden turn of tree leaves, the shiny conkers and acorns, seeds ripening on garden plants that until recently reveled in blooms - and at the same time late season flowers, last sources of nectar for the bees...  Like these sedum and asters:
Seen through the skeletal fennel:
Our indoor garden got a bit of a spit and polish, too - repotting and renewing some overgrown specimens:
