This is my first blog, so bear with me 🙈😂 I'm Kay and I live in a little cottage in west wales. I'm fourty nine years old, married, mother of three.
I started gardening about five years ago, after a bout of ill health, I'm diabetic and I find the physicality of gardening helps control my blood sugars. When we moved to brook cottage the garden was totally bare. The front garden was all concrete and the back garden was all grass, not one plant or tree. The garden was neglected for quite a few years as the house needed renovating, and if I'm totally honest I had no interest in the garden, we still had young children and I had a full time job, so that was enough for me to deal with 😂
After quite a few years my husband encouraged me to start creating flower beds. Once I started I couldn't stop, I think he might now regret that gentle persuasion, as things escalated quickly 😂😂 the garden isn't bare anymore! I have fully embraced the cottage garden style and thankfully love the wild look. That's my brief introduction to brook cottage. Next weeks blog will be about how I started on my gardening journey 🌿🌿
