Mad About Gardening
Welcome to our channel. We are literally mad about gardening and plants, particularly hardy perennials. We have a keen interest in naturalistic planting and plant propagation. We are against using chemicals and try to make our space as biodiverse as possible. Our passion comes from a genuine love of plants that we've had since childhood.
Join us in our UK Cheshire garden, where we'll be sharing our tips, successes and failures. With many years experience, both professionally and through our own gardens, we hope to share our love of plants with as many people as possible.
Over the years we have had many wonderful opportunities including creating some stunning planting schemes for our clients, planting show gardens at RHS Chatsworth and Tatton Flower Shows, volunteering at RHS Bridgewater Garden and meeting many knowledgeable plants people and garden designers.
