ABOUT ME I’m Charlotte Evans and I run Betty’s Barn Interiors (@bettys_barn_interiors). I live here with my partner, Andrew, and my two sons, Alfie, 19, and Ned, 13. We live in a six-bedroom new-build house in Oxfordshire with Harvey, our fox red labrador.

MY WISH LIST To improve the soil and lawn, and have an attractive, relaxing space with some of our favourite plants becoming focal points around the garden.
