About me
I am a self-taught amateur gardener. I live in the Thames Valley. My garden is about 17m by 13m and I have a 10 pole allotment. My 5 granddaughters like helping me in the garden (my grandson also helps but is too young to do much more than dig holes in the flowerbeds). I am also a Garden Guide Volunteer at the National Trust's lovely garden at Greys Court (http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/greys-court/). I take visitors on garden tours, answer their questions, etc. I also keep their plant list up to date - there are over 800 different plants in the garden - and Shoot has been a great help with that.
