I was a garden lover from my early days. When I moved to the United Kingdom I lived in Liverpool and Peterborough I had smaller gardens spent less time in the garden due to busy on-call rotas.
Finally, when I moved to London I was very fortunate to have a house with a big garden. This was London living close to nature one which I wanted. I joined the RHS ( Royal horticultural society )
where I learned my gardening skills. The lockdown period encouraged me to spend more time in my garden and I was able to improve my garden to a great extent. Seeing my garden from indoors
in early summer glory is uplifting and inspiring. I have attached a few photos of some interesting and rare plants from my garden.
