The Contrary Fuchsia
A video channel to encourage you to visit a garden, any garden so that you can appreciate the wonder of the world of plants and the benefits they can provide to you whether you use them in food or just to wonder at their beauty. My goal is to get you to go out and explore, bringing the idea back to your own space whether it be a big or small garden, or maybe just a window box or basket, to give you as much colour, scent and beauty as you can squeeze in to your own space. I hope you enjoy the videos and subscribe so that as more are added you will get to see what the channel has to offer.
My videos are not there to critique any particular garden so I will never not discourage you from visiting any particular garden. I am not the equivalent of a restaurant critic for the garden world. If I do find somewhere that is not what it claims to be then I simply will not do a video on it.
Thank you.
