About us

Our green adventures started back in 2009 when we moved into a garden flat in East London.  We renovated a Japanese and Italian water garden from it's overgrown past but with no prior garden experience we got stuck into the books and learned everything there was to know about pruning shrubs and planting.  After the first year tidying the space up we were asked by a friend to join The National Garden Scheme.  The scheme recognises gardens of quality and raises money for charity.  It was a scary prospect of opening the garden to the scrutiny of the public.  So we opened up for the first time and it was so exciting, we received some great positive feedback and some helpful tips from the seasoned gardeners!  Subsequently, we opened our garden every year.
