“HELLO, I’M FIONA, I’m a gardener and my favourite thing in my garden is my eucalyptus silver dollar gum. I have 12 of them.” (I’m very lucky, I have lots of space). This is a terrific icebreaker with gardeners; finding out: “What is your favourite thing in your garden? Is it a plant or a corner? I’d truly love to know.”
I simply adore other people’s gardens.
