About Me
I grew up playing in a very large garden with distinct areas; rose garden, vegetable garden, ponds and paddocks. In my first house I designed a small courtyard area, replacing the drab paving slabs and old fencing with decking and carefully chosen plants and using the lovely soft red brick walls, which had been hidden, as a backdrop.
Fast forward 20 years, and several gardens later I got my hands on my current garden – a blank canvas of lawns and hedges. My creativity came to life as I visualised what I could make of each area, creating planters, seating and decking from upcycled materials as well as a wildlife pond and herbaceous borders. It will always be a work in progress, but the garden has come to life.
Not wishing to go back to an office job once my children started school, I decided to use my creative streak and my love of outdoors and gained a City and Guilds Level 2 Diploma in Practical Horticulture. I started Blooming Confident Gardening in 2021 and I haven’t looked back.
