Category: Gardening For Beginners

Gardening for beginners can be a minefield of information and can lead to confusion which leads to procrastination. So what it is about gardening for beginners that made me want to create the category? From the start of my horticultural career I have been fortunate enough to be around like minded people. In every employed position there has always been a great mentor. As my own career has developed and expanded I want to give back to beginners too.

What does it mean to be a beginner?

I truly believe we always have something to learn and in that sense of the word we are all beginners. You may feel like you know very little and don’t know where to start this is the place for you. It could that you have been gardening for a short time and still feel you only know a small amount. Are you a seasoned gardener, yet to reach your goal, but need more skills, and knowledge? In all these levels there is always another step to take. The topics within this category will over time, take you through these steps and on to the next level.

Going from a beginner to a confident gardener.

It always amazes me to see the transformation in personal confidence and sometimes self-esteem. Whilst many of my clients do not see this change because the process is a gradual one. Recognition for your progress can be seen through the development of your garden. Your personal journey is your own, but the effects are seen by many. You should feel proud and welcome kind words and compliments on the pleasure your garden will bring. When your family, friends and even neighbours pay you the compliment accept them whole heartedly. You deserve it!
