A certain beauty, in these times of uncertainty.
So much wonder and awe in our gardens – stay well friends and be botanical, always.

Breakfast flowers
One of the simple pleasures is breakfast at our local coffee shop with good book in tow. This morning these beautiful spring flowers welcomed me at the table.
I am reading Kate Llewellyn’s A Fig at the Gate (Crows Nest, NSW: Allen and Unwin, 2014). Her reflections on gardening and life are wise and considered.
Now I ready for a day in the garden. How have you started your Saturday?
Follow me on Instagram:
crabandfish_garden for short reflections too. Happy weekend.
White lilacs
I love this time of year, when I can gather up these gorgeous white lilac panicles and display them in this vintage vase. 
For my mum whose funeral was this time last year – All Saints Day. To all our loved ones who remind us of the things we love.
Tulip time
Tulips sprinkled by spring rains – in our garden today 🌷🌷🌷
Chateau gardens
For all you gardeners and historians – Hluboka nad Vlatovou (Hluboka Chateau on the Vltava River) – grand gardens filled with hostas, roses, peonies and zinnias. So opulent and wonderful.
Some summer inspiration for you. Happy botanics and happy gardening. Love this sunshine.
Hot pink
These hot pink geraniums are putting on a show this summer.
Goodbye mum
My mum passed away last week when the jacarandas were in full bloom. We will miss you so much xxx
Fern walk
Sharing time together and the power of ritual, nature and love.
Time for a simpler life
Today as the new school term begins I am home and very excited to be a retired teacher. However, I am now calling this portion of life – renewal. May you too find your renewing moments this week – happy garden life.
Time to grow
This October, take time to grow…..
