Love this. I think the vision of a country where every corner has flowers growing is crazy radical and obvious all at once - we’d all be happier creatures

Thank you so much Olivia. It is crazy isn't it, but why not? Crazier has happened. I have been accused of being an idealist but I'm going with that rather than loosing hope.

I love all of this Anna , hugely helpful. I grow for a wellbeing charity and have recently moved plots to a bigger area generously being given to me for that purpose by my day job ( I work in a secondary school) - the flowers are both given to the charities many clients ( often elderly, socially isolated ) and also sold to local florists and others who want British seasonal flowers. I don’t make any profit but do want the plot to earn its keep. I’m trying no dig for the first time. Thank you for all your great advice 😊 Callie x

Wonderful to hear that Callie and so pleased this is going to be of use. The next few weeks I will be looking at growing in more detail. And over on the paid subscription (only £3.50 a month!!) there is more about setting up plots which might be of more help as you plan this bigger space. Good luck and please do let me know how you get on. Where are you based? Anna
