About

Hi! I’m so glad you’re here.

I am not a professional gardener; this is simply my hobby and passion. I started this blog because, to me, gardening is the absolute best way to slow down and get outside. I named this blog Growing A Garden because that is exactly what I am trying to achieve: transforming a blank canvas of plain lawn into a vibrant space bursting with plants and wildlife. This is my personal diary where I share the real day-to-day goings-on, the seasonal shifts, and the honest progress.

If you look around, you will quickly realise that I am completely obsessed with ornamental grasses and try to shoehorn as many as I possibly can into the garden! What you won’t see in this space is a perfectly manicured, flawless garden. This means you will see weeds, and you will see failures when they occur (and trust me, they do!).

So, grab a cuppa and welcome to my little corner of the gardening world – I really hope you enjoy following the journey!
