On a global scale, we all know that the plant world is vital to the survival of our planet.

On a micro and very personal level though, I should begin by saying why plants matter to me. I’m unashamedly a sentimental fool when it comes to gardening and well, everything else really if I’m completely honest.

Those who really know me are fully aware that reminiscing about the past and the things that have made me happy and sad, is an important part of what makes me the person that I am.

Plants for me have definitely been solid markers in my life.

Have you planted things purely because they remind you of a person or a garden that you loved?

I always incorporate plants and trees into my garden designs that matter to my clients.

The phrase “I’m looking forward to that” in this pandemic is one that we don’t hear very often. We can’t actually plan to do anything. In order to look forward to something, you need to be able to plan ahead for it.

I want to let you in on something. I don’t think that I would be alone in this declaration, nothing terribly new here, I would suggest, but here it is, I’m calling it, lately, I have been feeling kind of down.

Now, I reckon I’m a pretty positive person. I always try to always see the bright side and also taking time for mindfulness. I will admit it has been tough during 2020 and again this year. I think it comes down to the fact that in many ways, it feels like there’s nothing to look forward to.
