Thanks to @forever_callie for inviting me to be a part of her 'Most Googled Questions' series. If you're a business at the start of your social media journey, take a look. It seems chatting nonsense about social media is something I enjoy πŸ˜‚ youtu.be/7Ud7sovHjXI?si=zpWz…

Absolutely loved @Missvolare's biography of horticultural powerhouse and former owner of Warley Place, Ellen Willmott πŸ’š So today I brought along my copy to immerse myself in the history of the garden. It's such a special place and the book has reignited my love for it 😍
