One year ago this week I sent out my first newsletter. It was a tentative start as I wasn’t sure what I was going to share in this space. I did know that the noise that was created in other social media spaces was becoming too loud for me and I was sure others felt the same. While I love the connections I have made through social media it was beginning to become confusing and most of all tiring. When I think of how I want to share my garden I felt that social media was demonstrating traits that were the complete opposite to what I believed in. So I sent out a message, suggesting if you want to hear from me in a more personal way then sign up and that I had created a quiet space for us to hang out. While it was new and unformed it would be an easy space to connect with each other, I would simply arrive in your mail box.
A year on and I am more confident in the beauty of the quiet, in taking your time to explore an idea, in being slow. I have plans for this space for the coming year but lets not rush, let’s enjoy and celebrate this moment. As a thank you I want to offer one print of the above dahlia image as a giveaway. It will be an A3 size and the giveaway is open to all who have signed up to my newsletter. I will cover the cost of postage and it is open to all who read this newsletter. Simply leave a comment to this post and I will draw a winner on Friday the 18th of August.
And one last thing - thank you. Thanks to all who have signed up to this space, who have commented and messaged. It means a lot. I am forever grateful for your support.

I’m a newbie subscriber - thoroughly enjoying your writing in this quieter space. Thank you for sharing and inspiring x
When we first moved to New Zealand we were lucky enough to be based in Dunedin.My favourite thing to do with my young family,apart from visiting the Botanics ,was to take a walk around our local area admiring the wonderfully colourful and varied gardens. I was always struck by the friendliness of the owners of said gardens who would stop what they were doing to say hello.Your account &gorgeous photos bring back fond memories of that time.Thank you.
