My passion for gardening, taking me from hobbyist to horticulturist, began eight years ago with a clay-filled, mare’s tail-ridden, shady allotment in Hertfordshire. Over the years I grew my own fruit and vegetables and have now moved to a larger community-based site that gives me increased freedom and more choices regarding what I want to grow and why.
Like a lot of modern-day gardeners, I live in a flat and don’t have an outdoor space apart from my allotment, so I decided to start bringing themade the decision to be self-sustainable in cut flowers, which was a new challenge away from fruit and vegetable growing.
