This Saturday the garden is open for you to have a look around and there will be perennial plants for sale. It is a great time to plant perennials as the soil is warm from the summer and they can bed in well to thrive next spring/summer. The open garden and sale run from 10-4 […]
Shame about awful weather today but forecast is better for tomorrow though still some rain forecast. However, we have a waterproof gazebo which has successfully kept chairs dry today even with today’s rain so looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow. Probably sensible to wear waterproofs to look around garden but everything going ahead as […]
A quick update on what is happening in the Nurturenature garden. There are a few places left for the poetry reading on Saturday 15th July both for the 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock sitting. Jackie Kay is a wonderful poet and reads beautifully so do come if you can manage it. For tickets contact me […]

It is far too long since I wrote on the blog but a joy to be sitting writing in the sunshine with a view of the garden and surrounded by birdsong. Goldfinch are coming and going at the feeder nearest to me, enjoying nyjer seed their particular favourite and the scent from miniature narcissi in […]
Finally the days are a little warmer though there could of course still be more snow or freezing temperatures. However, snowdrops are nodding their beautiful heads so full of promise and hellebores of all colours, both speckled and plain are popping up to add joy to sitting on our decking which they are just below.

2020 has been a strange year for all of us whatever our circumstances and for many, a year with tragedy – my heart goes out to all those who have lost loved ones. 2021 is here and I envision it being the roots that are as Rumi said rioting under the ground….”Don’t think the garden […]
It has been a difficult year for most people including us here at nurturenature.

It is being […]
