From Propagation to Pruning & Everything in Between...!

In the summer of 2018 I travelled to the French Alps on a family holiday of downhill mountain biking, hiking and plant hunting. From wildflowers to wildlife, fresh mountain air to fungi the Tarentaise valley was teeming with diverse natural treasures. Come on a photographic tour finding fungi.

I started using Burgon and Ball Rockery Trowels over five years ago. They were recommended to me by a garden designer I was working for and I have never been without one since. I recommend this tool to everyone and it is now a staple item of many North Somerset tool kits. Read my tool kit review.

Whilst we cannot get out to visit gardens ourselves I thought it would be nice to revisit gardens and inspire us for future visits. Enjoy this photographic tour of my visit to Yeo Valley, fabulous organic lunch and talk about organic composting and the veg garden. A stunning garden teeming with wildlife.
