Learn How To Garden

Mark’s video show – The 10 Minute Gardener – came about because his Mother wanted advice on gardening…but was only prepared to invest 10 minutes of her life a day on her garden. Now Betty is in her 80s – so if she can do it, then so can you!
And that’s the purpose of Learn How To Garden – to give you the kind of information that you need, and fill in the ‘holes’ of the teaching of some of the so-called ‘Experts.’
Leaves From My Garden

Life at No. 27

Annabelle has become a regular face at events throughout the gardening calendar and hosts a monthly radio show where she shares her allotment journey, the latest in the gardening industry and top tasks each month.
Life on Pig Row

Their journey towards self-sufficiency and voluntary simplicity has featured in Sainsbury’s Magazine, My Mail Garden, The Guardian, Saddleworth Independent, Landscape Magazine, Northern Soul and The Cottage Gardener. Andrew has been an Ask the Expert for Grow Your Own and they write a regular column for Saddleworth Independent.
Their blog follows their ups and downs throughout the year.
The Little Green Blog

Most of my photographs document the scenery and wildlife around me, whether it be the Northern soul of Manchester or the English charm of the Cotswolds.
London Cottage Garden

I’d sum up the style as being jumbled close planting of shrubs and simple perennials with lots of bulbs, self seeders and herbs. I’m aiming for a chaotic abundance of colour, scent and movement.
This blog will be about how I work on creating this style of garden and what I love about it – what I plant and what I don’t – what has worked and what hasn’t and how we use the space.
London Plantology

I enjoy raising plants from seed as it allows me to learn about their natural environment and observe closely their growth habits. I like reading and doing research about rare and exotic plants and their history and try to find seeds and grow them, of course! Unusual edibles, like achocha, purple potatoes, heirloom drying beans, oca, and hardy perennials are on the top of my growing list. I have also planted a few fruit trees in my London garden as what is a garden without trees!
The Long Garden Path

“My Estate” is my haven. It’s where I can relax and unwind after a long working day, or where I can indulge my creative side and be constructive. It’s my panacea for all the stresses of modern life.
Like any garden, it’s always a work in progress, always needing attention, and never how I’d love it to be. But isn’t that the joy of gardening?
Lovely Greens

Growing your own food is a growing interest, especially with those who’ve not done it before. Whether you have a large garden or tiny balcony, it’s not only possible to grow your own but you can use your fresh produce in the kitchen and in handmade skincare. Through blogs and videos I show how to grow organic vegetables, herbs, and flowers, and then use them to make wholesome meals and handmade beauty products.
I’m also a huge fan of a good garden or home DIY project and I showcase those ideas too.
