Hi my name is Mel and I live in New Zealand, in a coastal town called Dunedin. The last few years have seen me dig a bit deeper into who I am and what I want from life. It turns out not much. A garden space, some bees, a camera, my woofs and of course the dearly beloved other half. And also a space to write. In early 2020 I discovered that I like to take photos and I like to write a few words to accompany my images.
I like to think of my newsletter as having a cup of tea in the garden together, taking some time to chat about gardening, being creative and generally things that are good for your soul. I love sharing my unique perspective on gardening and photography and I hope you start to see your garden space as a space of environmental significance.
My free weekly newsletter is sent out every Friday and is filled with snippets of the garden, life, dogs and bees. Little moments if you will. I like to think of it as your warm up before sinking into the weekend.
