About

Welcome to Shoot, created for gardeners like me. I am not an expert, but rather a typical 'self-taught gardener' who loves having a beautiful garden. For me, it is a place to entertain friends and somewhere relaxing to unwind with a book or a cold drink at the end of the day. I also find gardening an enjoyable way to spend some spare time at the weekend. (Read Nicola's Biography here).

When I was first planting up my own garden in North West London, many of my choices were an impulse buy in the garden center. And many plants didn't thrive, as they were not suited to the soil and general conditions in my garden. That was both heartbreaking... and expensive!

I also knew my new plants needed ongoing care, but I am not the sort of gardener to research and keep notes. I simply wanted someone to remind me when and how to care for the plants in my garden. Shoot is for people with the same needs as me.
