About 48 Clarendon Street
I have always loved gardening, but it took on a whole different role following the death of my husband in 2021. Widowed at 43, with a young son, our world was completely shattered. My garden brought me back from the brink. My son gave me a reason to live but my garden taught me how to live. How to rebuild. How to find joy again. It built my confidence and helped me learn how to make decisions and how to form an opinion on my own.
The garden has changed beyond recognition since Guy’s death. I was driven to fill it with colour, even though i didn’t understand why. I now believe it was to bring light, even on the darkest of days. I am a huge advocate of gardening for mental health, in the power of healing through just having your hands in the soil and reconnecting with nature.
I am completely self taught, learn through osmosis (and making mistakes) and have transformed my space in just 4 years. I believe that everyone can grow a garden, they just need to find the right plants for them and their soil. The reward of nurturing an outdoor space will be food for your soul.
