Great gardens, courses to take up this spring and my master plant list 🌱

The design of your home doesn't stop at the back door - creating a beautiful outdoor space, no matter how small, is a real art form.

If, like me, your Friday nights revolve around Gardener’s World (I’m a toddler mum that knows how to party 😂), then the beginning of spring brings with it so much promise. Until we manage to find a house to move to, I personally still live in a tenement flat in Edinburgh’s city centre, and so my gardening sadly amounts to a simple bowl of forced indoor bulbs or over-watered house plants. I started a wish list on my phone many years ago of the plants and trees I’ve come across from varying different sources of inspiration and that one day I hope to try my hand at nurturing. In the meantime, I spend a lot of time watching gardening courses or finding the nearest National Trust property or open garden scheme for a potter. In today’s round up I’m looking at some really rather spectacular gardens, some great courses to take up this spring, where to buy beautiful outdoor furniture and sharing some of that master plant list!
