I go the best of both worlds in addition to savour creating interactive gardens about my dwelling. I use more often than not perennials, shrubs, in addition to small-scale trees. My gardens have meandering borders together with follow the contours of our natural landscape. Beauty was entirely the first of my journeying. The garden has since rewarded me alongside amazing experiences. I honey learning more every year about the relationships between insects too flowers, plants in addition to land, in addition to humans as well as nature. It is my true happy place.
