About me

Location Southland, New Zealand
Introduction I would like to share my garden journey in our Southland garden. Hi, I am Faimie, a 50 something home gardener, dog lover, recycler, quilter and parent of one technically brilliant adult son Brodie and partner of Mike, the tidy gardener - I'm the untidy gardener!! My blog aims to record the garden - the successes and failures, mistakes, seasonal change and development of wildlife habitat as well as floral art created from the garden and the odd recipe or two. It's not a fancy garden. It's a productive cottage garden, not quite organic and the budget is small. It has become my passion and happy place. I'm always able to live in the moment when working in the garden
Favorite Books My go to book and the one I'd save if I was allowed to take only one book is The Royal Horticultural Society A-Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants
