I love gardening and you can find any number of books on the subject on my bookcase.

The love affair began probably long before I was really able to understand the true meaning of it.  As a small child I would sit at my Nanna’s feet knee deep in dirt and help her garden.  She always encouraged me and looking back I realise I pulled out more plants than weeds but she was never cross.  I treasure the time I spent with her as she taught me the way to nurture my environment and get pleasure from it (probably unintentionally).

There is so much that can be gained from gardening for both children and adults, such as exercise, fresh air and a sense of satisfaction.  There is nothing as satisfying as growing herbs or flowers and fresh fruit and vegies,

Even very young babies can experience and learn in the garden as it is a stimulating environment for the senses, such as scrunching leaves, smelling flowers, digging and rolling in the grass.  Gardening with your child is a special way to promote speech development through conversation, deepen your relationship and to foster an attitude of respect and care for the environment. 

At the moment Ruby has been hassling me to revamp the old vege gardens that have been neglected, so I am working on building a raised garden bed which is based on the French idea of a ‘Potager’ which comes from ‘potage’ French for soup, as historically these gardens contained soup vegetables.  Eventu ally, the term evolved to me

an a kitchen garden where everything needed or the household was cultivated.

am enjoying the process and hope to keep you updated on my progress with some happy snaps.
