"One touch of nature makes the whole world kin." ... William Shakespeare
This morning, Christmas morning there is actually a semblance of the dawn chorus here on the Sussex Coast. Our shortest day has gone and although damp and dark there is the sound of birdsong. Regrettably nothing like the wonderful sounds of my childhood but none the less here We have a Poundstretcher store in the village and I reckon that wild bid food in all its forms must be a best seller there, the number of people that I see coming out with items for them. And how lovely that is Birdsong is but one of the many gifts that we are given by Mother Nature. Gardeners and growers are especially grateful to her. She brings light, and warmth and rainfall and optimism. So whilst we literally have all the tools we need, the plants, the trees and the seeds our biggest gift is Mother Nature who is at the centre of all we achieve ... A Merry Christmas to you

AuthorI launched this website on 16th August 2020 to bring together my thoughts on gardening,, its importance for health and wellbeing and two projects running concurrently, a renovation of my own garden on the West Sussex coast at Lancing and a nearby allotment. But also to learn from other gardeners about the inspirations for their plots, about their gardening projects and enjoyment of beautiful plants and gardens Archives
