About Me

The Postage Stamp Garden

As a child, I loved gardening alongside my parents - but as an adult, I've yet to have the luxury of a decently sized yard of my own. I've lived in a variety of cramped apartments and mousehole-sized townhouses, always pining after a real garden of my own. I've got a tiny scrap of a yard now - the size of a postage stamp, as my mother puts it! - and to turn it into a gardening haven I've had to get creative. If your garden isn't as big as you'd like it to be, read on; I've come up with some fab new ideas for maximising the space I've got, and I'm excited to share them with you on this blog.
