King John’s Nursery & GardenI’ve just been for my first outing with the East Sussex group of the Cottage Garden Society. The nursery and garden are tucked down a lane near Etchingam in deeply rural countryside and has been on my list to visit for some time.
It was a jolly event (including tea and cake) despite the lack of sun and a chilly wind. It’s always interesting to see the bones of a garden before all the prettiness kicks in.
There are some wonderful gnarly old apples trees smothered in mosses and lichens and wreathed with the stems of climbing roses which look fabulous in late spring when the blossom is out and the orchard is knee deep in cow parsley. I know this because I have seen photographs taken by Carole Drake, one of which she is very kindly allowing me to use in this post.
I will definitely be going back at a more benevolent time of year .

Indoor gardening takes many forms, from microgreen kits to windowsill herb pots to home hydroponic systems. And then there's the "Garden in a Bag." Exactly as its name suggests—these cute paper bags are filled with soil and seeds that will grow into one of many plant varieties on a sunny windowsill. This is a fun way to have a steady supply of fresh herbs or flowers year-round.
Spending time on our patios and decks is something we all look forward to, and these days, a little seclusion and enhanced privacy tend to be top of mind.

If there’s one thing that gets my goat, its, what’s in and what’s out in gardening. Now honestly I don’t want to alienate myself, of course everyone’s entitled to an opinion but don’t you sometimes think there is a bit of inverted snobbery going on. I have always loved gardens and gardening, I like the subtle garden with foliage of different hues and perhaps white flowers giving that relaxed feeling. I am mad about the Summer mixed perennial borders which give that great to be alive feeling. The Rose borders are charming, the Scottish Heather borders can look great.

Picture of our front garden, I promise it was once more packed when the flower borders were wider than this. Whats not to like.
A finishing touch to the garden! Doesn’t really make sense, gardening by its very nature can never really have what we may think of as finishing touches.

And to hear famed plant collector, horticulturist, and botanist Daniel Hinkley tell it, there is a bit of daredevilry to the job. “I’ve had hard treks, bad knees, bee stings, and leeches hanging from my neck,” he says. “But if I am lucky, plant collecting offers me a bit of seed, and the resulting plant possesses all of the memories associated with it.”
