Introduction It's really about "us" as we're very much a team! Christina is a retired clock restorer with very green thumbs (speciality - pruning and shaping) whilst Caro enjoys growing and planting stuff that she can then photograph. We have a small "cottage garden" attached to our lettings property and a larger rear garden where we can try out different planting combinations, finding out what works best in this climate. We've also looked after a number of other "expat" gardens since moving here in 2003.
Interests Plants, gardens, wildlife, photography, music, books, food, cookery.
Favorite Books Beth Chatto's Gravel Garden, Dream Plants for the Natural Garden (Piet Oudolf)
