There is more than one Grounded Gardener in our household.
To follow, my wife, Mrs Grounded Gardener, recounts her recent travails in our garden and her
growing passion for gardening and ‘getting in touch with the earth quality’.
A belated word - Christmas 2013
Well, it may now be almost February but just last month, we celebrated
having our first ever Christmas wreath up on our front door for our first
Christmas in our new home. Alas, not a homemade contribution but a beautiful
wreath purchased from www.pollyfields.co.uk a family-run
business in north Devon. I chose this style for it’s simplicity and abundant
use of preserved oranges which add beautiful colour, and the pine cones and
star anise which smelt divine. I was so pleased how the colours worked with the
red pop of our door. This gorgeous wreath provided a warm festive welcome to
all our friends and family who visited and kept it’s Christmas scent throughout
the festive period. And do you know something..to my surprise, it wasn’t
‘liberated’ from it’s proud position by any light fingered opportunists! How
refreshing. We do live in London you know J Now safely wrapped up and stored away, we’re looking forward
to using it again next Christmas.
Mrs Grounded Gardener
