Lovely to have had some warmth and sunshine. Amongst other things I have been planting out cosmos which have settled in well in a big raised bed and I am hoping to pick them before too long. The herbaceous borders have grown tremendously over the last week or so and will soon be bursting into […]
Silk scarf making workshop 23rd June
Apologies for the horribly long time since I last posted. I am really hoping that this time I can post regularly and keep everyone up to date with what is happening at NurtureNature. It has been a long time without posts and while the garden has continued to be developed to make it a healing […]
