Garden Myself Happy
Hi, I'm Jane and I garden in SW Wales, UK, zone 8/9 in a temperate South Wales, UK climate.
My gardens include a south facing cottage garden along with a north facing hardy tropical back garden. Having previously tried allotment life, I am setting up a kitchen garden / plot. After rehoming an old greenhouse, I garden on a budget and grow from seed, along with shopping with savings in mind, on a no dig method along with keeping a wormery for vermiculture / feeing the garden.
A large focus of my gardening experience is improving my mental health, using my gardens as a tool and sanctuary.
Thank you for following my journey, please consider subscribing to be kept up to date of content I upload.
Take care,
Jane
