Insta Love...

It's the week of the Chelsea Flower Show and we want to bring your attention to the first Scottish garden at the Show for 17 years! Featuring plants that thrive across the Highlands and Islands in 12 reclaimed whisky casks, and a backdrop of a dry-stone slate wall constructed to look like a glen between mountains, hand-picked from the disused Craiglea Slate Quarry at the Logiealmond Estate in Perthshire, this is a must see garden!
If you have been awaiting a downpour from the skies with baited breath and it comes, do you feel like you can actually smell the rain? You can, and this pleasant smell has a name. The powerful, earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil is called Petrichor.
The idea of a low input garden fits well into the gardening philosophy called ‘Self Provision Gardening’ which means you grow fruit and vegetables with a view of providing for some of your needs, helping the environment, and reconnecting with the land.
Two weeks today we'll be at @sconepalacegardenfair and we honestly cannot wait to be back out at a real, live, in person, garden event!!!!!!!
