The Blackberry Garden
Leicester-based ‘amateur and somewhat obsessed gardener’ Alison Levey opens the gates to her own garden, as well as inspirations and things about gardening that make her happy. Happy things include reviewing products, gardening books and sharing her current plant-related projects.
The Blackberry Garden is not a ‘how to’ blog, the aim is to talk more about the enjoyment of gardening and it is read by people who garden and people who do not.
We were thrilled when Alison write a guest blog for us earlier this year, you can read that here
Alison was awarded the Garden Media Guild Blog of the Year 2019 and her Instagram is definitely worth a follow to: Instagram @blackberrygarden

The Patient Gardener
Helen Johnstone is the Patient Gardener and she says “the title ‘Patient Gardener’ is quite aspirational as I’m not a particularly patient person. However, I find that I am at my most patient when it comes to things horticultural, maybe its because being in the garden and working with plants helps to slow me down, soothing my mind and focusing my thoughts. You will find that my posts are my own thoughts and ramblings mainly about my garden, my trails and tribulations as well as my triumphs as I believe there is nothing more uplifting than realising that someone else is struggling with the same issues as you and we don’t all have those perfect gardens that are promoted in the glossy magazines”

The Middle Sized Garden
Alexandra Campbell, draws on her skills as a writer and uses her blog to cover everything from how to use a garden fertiliser, growing vegetables, and how to improve your pruning. Do you have a middle-sized garden? Does it reflect your personal style? Is it a place where you can relax? Or where you love to spend time with friends and family or grow your own fruit and vegetables? Perhaps you’re looking for design inspiration or plants that won’t die on you. Maybe you’re worried about garden privacy, shady trees or pests that munch your plants? If your garden is bigger than a courtyard, but smaller than an acre, this is the one for you.
The Curious Gardener
A great favourite with our friends Jarman Murphy, Caleb Melchior describes himself as “I'm a plant geek, writer, and designer. My work focuses on plant communities, fine garden design, and landscape representation. I believe in presence - being close, paying attention”
