I find gardening relaxing, and enjoy working hard or simply pottering about. I grow a range of garden plants and vegetables, some successfully and some
unsuccessfully.
Recently, I started growing plants for resale to raise money for the charity Porridge and Rice
that
supports schools in the Nairobi slums, home to some of the poorest people in the world.
Snowdrops
These beautiful little flowers usher in Spring, heralding colour and warmth returning to the garden.
Daffodils
The wide range of colours and sizes of daffodils available, make these plants a must-have for the Spring garden.
Primroses
I keep two species of doves, diamond and zebra doves, both small species, that live together happily in my aviary.
Magnolia
It has taken over 20 years for this magnolia to reach its current size, and it has been worth the wait.
Tulips
As the daffodils fade, tulips take over with fluorescent, dramatic colours on tall stems.
Hostas
Giant hostas provide architectural impact in shady areas in the garden.
Rhubarb
A good rhubarb plant produces an endless source of delicious deserts with its thick stems.
Virburnum
When it flowers, it dominates its corner of the garden with its large white flowers.
Lupins
The tall colourful spires bring eye-catching colour to the garden for most of summer.
