All right – I have given in and here is my garden blog. I keep wanting to write shorter pieces than could find a home anywhere in the printed media, so it does in the end seem obvious..
And, as someone pointed out recently – it’s a form of social media. A conversation allowing more than 140 characters..
So, here goes..
Do you visit art galleries and museums? Do you enjoy theatre and concerts? Hauser and Wirth – art gallery and Oudolf Gardens As a garden writer and garden maker I deeply regret that my audience for both appear to be almost exclusively gardeners. It is as if the works of painters and sculptors were only […]
I think it’s possible that such platforms are the future. At least for as long as blogs were, once.
“The question to ask is, ‘what is here that is true, that is underneath the superficial things? What is here that matters?”
Autobiography of a Garden is about the garden making, Pat’s life, the history of the land, the ideas, the art, the plants and the devouring deer.
But to dream, and perhaps more importantly, to innovate, we should inspire ourselves globally:
“Have issue. You were so adamant that you wouldn’t go to Chelsea again. Discuss, please”.
. And now, knowing we won’t live forever, we’re thinking about what will happen to the house and garden when we die.
The garden is actually interestingly old fashioned. It’s not just the bedding but the relentless inclusion of every garden cliché, however brilliantly executed.
Now that really is a short blog post…so short in fact that I suspect I can write a longer comment. Is that a Common Purple Spotted Orchid?….tres chic, mucho pretty.
Good luck with your blog, I’m sure it will be successful.
Your digital pal.

Thank you, Ben. You know I hate to bore anyone… And thanks for my very first comment! And it wasn’t rude..XXX
I’m lichen this blog too! And only 360 characters, including spaces in which you can sow some of Ben’s cut flower seeds. xxx (I’m more generous!)
Thank you, John. And how do you seed a blog, I wonder…XXXX
nice photography,shortest blog i’ve read mind,sure it will expand x
Well there are 4 posts….(I did them all at once)
Currently people are more attached to greenery and they ever want to have a sight of green grass or green meadows so home garden is very good option for such green lovers.
Looking forward to reading your blog.
Thanks.
Very looking forward to it, Anne.
I haven’t yet managed to seed a blog, but your short one is inspiring.
Thank you x
Judy! How good to see you pop up. Thought about you and your garden often. What are you up to now? Xx
Lots!
I should begin a blog… are you ever nearby here? xx
If you are still in London, only occasionally, for Chelsea and other business..
