About Me

I’m Margaret, a lifelong lover of art, travel, and gardens. I spent 2 decades working in the tourism industry and have been lucky enough to travel the world. Wherever I am, I find myself drawn to gardens and natural spaces. Additionally, being a photographer and mixed media artist, I find my deepest inspiration in gardens. Over the years, I’ve wandered through lush landscapes, photographed vibrant blooms, and found endless inspiration in the textures and colours of gardens. Through this blog, I hope to share that inspiration with you.
