It’s always interesting to find out what’s shaped a garden - personal taste, visits to other plots or, as in the case of Charingworth Court, a holiday.
I’ve been out to this Cotswold garden ahead of its open days for the National Garden Scheme and discovered a touch of Japan.
I have created two of these in the inverse. Beautiful striking black and white flower art by floral artist Sharon Cummings. A unique design with classical elements and botanical beauty.
I've been creating with pen and ink again! I prefer pens to pencils as I love the fluidity and smoother movements. I have collaged painted fabric to create a colorful garden!
I was not always suffering from those issues as I grew up on a farm and used to help with the hay work in the summer.
So the fact that I am now experiencing hayfever symptoms is the consequence of #ClimateChange.
Despite taking a powerful allergy medicine it is still not safe to go outside for me.
This is why when we talk to you so often about the #climate on this account, it is not because we are being greenwashed.
It is because it is affecting my health and our #gardens in a significant way.
It is also why those who would like to deny the climate issues are very unwelcome on this community, I could not give less of a damn about their opinions.
