The first plant I ever grew
I was an outdoor child, making miniature gardens and playing in bluebell woods. I was given my first set of garden tools when I was three and by the age of 14 I had asked for my own vegetable plot and took over my mother’s greenhouse. I even attempted to graft her roses!
The plant which shaped the woman I am today
