Celebrating the seasons with my camera and writing about creative living in the country.

My garden is a haven where I paint and have my pottery studio. A space for contemplation and relaxing in. The source of blooms for the cottage, my daughters floristry and veg for the table. It is my happy place.

I write and photograph about living with the seasons, my garden, growing flowers, styling and gentle musings on running multiple creative projects. Find and subscribe for free to my journal over on Substack and recieve my latest publications straight to your inbox.

I also have written an online course in how to start a cut flower patch and turn your floral hobby into a creative business.

The secret garden at Potters Cottage

Our little cottage has three gardens. The first is a gravel garden straight from the kitchen door, then through a series of arches not visible from the cottage and down a long path you reach the secret garden. Beyond this is the woodland garden which is where I come with a coffee to sit and think. It’s great for foliage too!

The greenhouse garden and wood is available to hire for photography shoots or you can book me to take your images for you. In the summer we host coffee & flower mornings, a chance to relax and soak up the garden and fill a jam jar with flowers.

Please get in touch via the contact page for more information.
