DIDI

After a demanding career in market research my husband and I moved to sunny Suffolk to be nearer his family. Having developed a passion for gardening and all things horticultural our new garden provided a whole new challenge. Again I pored over seed and plant catalogues, worked out colour schemes and drew and photographed the plants I particularly loved. I joined the local horticultural society, got an allotment and formed the Bungay Allotments and Gardens Society (still going strong, although the horticultural society, alas, is not)... So that was me - involved in the local community and gardening to my heart's content... Here was a whole new world of colour and texture and it wasn't long before I became hooked. Luckily I had the bare bones of the garden sorted because from then on it had to take care of itself. I'm still grateful that my former self had the foresight to plant shrubs and perennials that continue to delight me. My husband takes care of the grass and weeds.
