Chelsea 2018: My favourite things 4

July 4, 2018

Sustainability is all about durability, and that means shelling out to buy the very best that we can afford. It means that when we buy something new, we buy it not just for ourselves, but for our children and grandchildren, and their children too.

The Gaze Burvill stand at Chelsea this year was an utter treat, and richly deserved its reward as best trade stand of the show. Butter Wakefield is a master of restrained but ebullient design; the sort of spaces that pull you in with their friendly, come-hither, arms-open-wide accessibility, and at the same time wow you because, well, they are just so damn chic.

Andrew and I finally persuaded Butter to come and give us the benefit of her wisdom and experience on the podcast and it's up now for you to listen to - just click here.

My newsletter is much more personal than my blog - it’s where I document exactly what I’ve been doing in my own garden each day and it pops into inboxes on a Saturday or Sunday. People say it gets them motivated to get out there and do a bit of gardening which is brilliant! If you want it, just put your email in the box below, and know that I will NEVER share you details with anyone, EVER. x

I do a weekly newsletter full of five minute gardening tips and there's usually a special project too. It’s much more personal than my blog, and subscribers say it gets them motivated to get out there and do a bit of gardening which is brilliant! If you want it, then put your email below, and know that I will NEVER share your details with anyone else x
