I have written before about how I cannot work in the same way as I currently do for much longer. A combination of getting older, severe boredom, a body that is wearing out a little and a severe case of really not wanting to conform means that my days are numbered in terms of working as a horticulturist in the landscape management field. While I will continue to write mostly for free here for all to read, I want to be able to write more in depth articles for those that are interested and to allow me achieve my goals quicker than I would otherwise do so.

I do love plants and all they bring to the world, from beautiful flowers to food, from medicines to clothing and countless other uses, plants are amazing. I want to share this more with the world, but can only do so much at the moment . With the support of my lovely readers, I’d love to share more about plants with people.

This will include:

• Plants I come across on my travels
• The history of why certain things are done the way they are
• What gardening techniques we should keep from the past and why
• Likewise for things we should get rid of, and why
• Extra posts on my garden, once it is up and running again!

If you don’t want to become a paid subscriber, or can’t than that’s ok too-I’ll still be writing away several times a week as I have been for the past two years or so. You can donate here:

The plan is to have one post per week for paid subscribers that goes into further detail on one of the topics above. This will get published every Saturday afternoon. Over time, I will add extra paid posts, starting with every now and then, but eventually to three a week after I’ve finished my studies this time next year. I will be starting this from October 2024 and I hope that you come along for the journey.

If you choose to become a paid subscriber, then thank you very much!
