Welcome to my gardening blog, where I share my joy of
gardening and learn how your garden brings you bliss.

About Me

Hi, I’m Mark – the Joyful Gardener!

I am no garden expert but I love gardening. I work three different plots with different soil

types, altitude and aspects. My aim is not to garden well, but to be well through gardening. I

want to explore where the joy from growing things come from rather than tell people how to grow kumquats in Leeds.

Introduction to the Joyful Gardener’s Blog

The love of gardening is a seed once sown that never dies.

🌱3 Quick Things From Me:

  • Visit a garden. My favourite right now is David Austin Roses in Albrighton which has a Wolverhampton postcode. Even if roses are not your thing, this garden oozes one family’s passion for one aspect of gardening and one plant family. And it is free to enter.
  • Finding ways to use gluts. I dip broad beans in boiling water for one minute, then freeze them. I will eat some on Christmas day.
  • Enjoy your garden. Stop work, sit down with a cold drink or cup of tea, and give everything a dose of looking at. You’ve earned it.
