About me

Ten years ago I dug up a thirsty lawn and planted a few native shrubs in its place. Now the whole back garden is native plants: gravel paths, a rock with moss on it, a bird bath and a potting shed where I grow most of my own plants from cuttings and seed. It needs a fraction of the water the lawn did, and the birds noticed before I did.

Each week I film one job in the garden and say what I would do this month, because native plants are easy once you know when to leave them alone. What I sell is the part you can print and take outside: a planner for every month, a few plain guides, and two video courses for anyone who wants to grow their own plants or design a garden from scratch.
