GARDENING WITH NATURE IN MIND

Sandy is inspired by nature and gardening allows her to connect with that ethos. Her website and blog are very much about growing her own but integrated with the natural world and ideas on how to embrace and protect it.

Have you always loved gardening and growing your own veg?

I only really started gardening when I moved into a house in my mid-20s. That was bigger than the gardens I’d previously had and it became very clear that it would need some maintenance. But quite quickly I realised that just maintaining it was not enough and I became interested in growing my own vegetables.

It really all started on a window ledge with coriander seeds and I was hooked.

Now I grow as much as I possibly can, vegetables, herbs, flowers, all from seed. And this year I began propagation of my houseplants which I give away to family and friends when they visit.
