Grow Wayne's favourite things

Midsummer is when your garden is at its lushest. It's always playtime in the garden, and whether it's lying under a tree or finding more stuff to grow, gardens are our safe space for self-expression and joy.

WHAT KIND OF GARDENER ARE YOU?

That leaves us with the question "What kind of gardener are you?"

What kind of gardener are you? Well, I love plants, and all of the above is my answer. Garden and plant lovers rarely stay in a lane, and that's how it should be. We all have an idea of what kind of gardener we are, but experience tells me that it's a journey, and you can become any kind of gardener the moment you are in a green space at one with nature.

The plant whisperer

Talking to your plants and knowing what they need to do well without them talking back makes you very special and unique. You don't necessarily garden, but you definitely grow stuff and have a knack for success. You are always happy to share your knowledge but often end up with plants from friends that need saving on your patio.

The plant whisperer will always keep learning and testing the theory but will also most likely be the plant collector in the group. Tuberous begonias are not hard to grow, but you need to know the knack. They are a wonderful world of summer colour to grow and grow well.
