Things to do this week in your garden- 5th May 2024

Mindful Gardening and Floristry activities to calm your mind and soothe your soul

Erm, what day is it?

I’ve spent the last two weeks in a haze of tiredness, sadness and then eventually my own illness.

Add to that a 2 year old’s birthday party to organise, buy for and host and I've been in a complete tailspin unsure of whether I was coming or going.

I’ve just sat for 10 minutes on the sofa with the kids watching ‘Up’ and the realisation hit that not only had I not sent you this weeks mindful gardening activities, but I hadn’t actually even written them! I am so sorry if you were planning some garden time this weekend and my scrambled brain has put the kibosh on it.

Cue a quick scramble to put them together and compost this grovelling intro and here we are.

I hope my honesty about my faux pas reinforces my my message that its ok to make a mistake. We are only human and even if you keep yourself small, never trying anything new, you’ll still fuck up at some point.

So you might as well add some joy into the mix and get started in your garden, even though you’re guaranteed to make a mistake.

Don’t worry, I’ll be here to catch you when you fall.
