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 about events……. We had a successful silk scarf making workshop on 23rd June with 10 participants facilitated by Louise Grassby and fun was had by all with beautiful scarves the products. Photos below. Next in line is the Jackie Kay poetry reading on July 15th. Already lots of people have signed up […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

I spent a lovely evening last night with my Dad, his wife Svava and my friend Doris listening to the local Waldershelf Singers perform their summer concert “Showstoppers”. Wonderful singing and a great collection of ‘showstopping’ songs, even some for us to sing along as the audience. Very generously the proceeds from the concert are […]
First day of sunshine in a while yesterday and I managed a walk with the dogs – joy! The woods were as ever beautiful, greens everywhere, birds singing and the three dogs running crazily up and down and after sticks. Didn’t go right up to the pond where the dogs swim as there is a […]
I have finally done it this afternoon. Forced to spend more time than usual in bed (even for me) because of fractured pelvis I have spent this afternoon creating a nurturenature facebook page. Lots of people ask me whether we have a FB page and increasingly embarrassed by saying no I thought I’d better say […]
Am currently having literally a cracking time – broke my ankle a couple of months ago and still in a cast though that may be coming off tomorrow. Then had a fall in the shower 3 weeks ago and have fractured my pelvis is two places – very painful and simply a matter of waiting […]
