Hi all,
I am Sue, founder of the My Garden Heaven website and experience. I have been gardening since purchasing my first house in 2014 and started out as an absolute beginner. I love it so much that I now work in a garden centre!
A great deal of my knowledge has come from trial and error.
We live by the coast and our soil is very sandy, so not every plant likes it.
Our garden is long but narrow and faces North East, however this does mean the very end faces South West so there is a real mix of light and shade.
I do spend a lot of time moving plants and trying to get them situated in a spot they will enjoy!
I am always looking to add different plants that I love.
Some gardens are very restrained and formal, with minimal colours and perhaps just a few plant types repeated. Our garden is not like this at all!
If I see a plant that I love I will always try to fit it in somewhere so we have bright and full borders.
I also like to include plants and flowers that grow natively our area for a natural look.
We have many ferns and foxgloves that look beautiful in the shady areas.
We also grow vegetables and although our garden is fairly small, it is surprising how much you can fit in.
I am passionate about conservation and biodiversity.
I work with a conservation group that assists our local council with wildlife habitat preservation.
This involves clearing scrubland and removing selected trees to increase the available habitats for the extremely rare sand lizard.
Indoor gardening is just as important!
I understand that many people do not have outside space, so houseplants are just as valuable to happiness and wellbeing.
I love flowering houseplants like orchids, but also foliage plants like palms and ferns.
Gardening is a mediation, a project, a passion and exercise!
