Everything about gardening is an act of Faith, a dose of solid science, and a sprinkling of magic. Wouldn't you agree?
After 71 years of dirty hands, I find that I have also been cultivating a bit of garden wisdom. I bring curiosity, experience and a network of Wise Old gardeners to this great garden journey. I love sharing garden advice for growing beautiful garden flowers.
Old gardeners never die...
