I've had a blog for a while but haven't managed to write much on it. So, with Jonathan back for the weekend after a long week at work, he's helped me out and set up a new blog for me here on Blogger.
A lot has happened over the last few months - Channel 5 have been round, we've been inundated by groups from all over the world and the garden is looking sensational. All of our new projects are settling in and the garden is feeling far more coherent.
My aim on the blog is to keep an open diary with loads of photos, news and updates. I hope to become part of the gardening blogosphere and to play an active part in the online gardening and design community.

Garden chatter, edible flowers, cooking and inside tales about our garden events.
About Me
- Kathy Brown
- I am a garden designer and author; I have a love of gardens whether in town, village or countryside! Even City coutyards hold a special interest, especially with their historic associations. I also have a particular interest in conceptual gardening which in my case come into the "garden art" category with many paintings transformed into growing borders here at The Manor House Stevington. I am also very keen on edible flowers and eat my garden flowers from my borders as well as orchard fruits and vegetables. I like to share them with others too when groups visits.
