About

As a child, I began to appreciate plants and flowers as my mother was a keen gardener. There were plants in every room inside our home, on windowsills or hanging in pretty containers from the ceiling. Outside, our small yard was chockablock with perennial bushes, plants and, in particular, scented roses. In the summer, she filled numerous different-sized planters with beautiful annual flowering plants such as fuchsias, petunias, begonias and placed them around the yard. Her passion rubbed off on me and I’ve been interested in and grown many varieties of plants over the decades.
