    Hi. Loving your garden, and the beautiful flowers. I also like how you name the various plants. Have just watched the video where you are digging new beds. Thought you may be interested in Charles Dowding , who advocates a no dig approach to gardening. No dig is thought to be more beneficial to environment ie leaving carbon in the soil rather than the atmosphere. Also it is more beneficial to plants, and to soil health. It is also thought to cause less weeds as turning over the soil exposes dormant weed seeds. Also of course it is an easier way to create a new garden bed. Just a thought. Will continue to watch your lovely garden. Happy gardening. Adele.

    I just looked him up, thanks to you! It's a wonderful approach -- and quite similar to how we garden at home. I'll have to look more into it for similarities... but so far, loving his approach! At work, I wonder how possible it could be... hmmm... as it's a large garden where people 'expect' things to happen quite quickly (public spaces are just like that sometimes). BUT totally worth watching and learning more. THANK you so very much for sharing! 🥰
