I run workshops on a wide range of topics, from seed sowing to how to attract more wildlife to your garden. I’m on FB and Instagram too.

It’s not goodbye it’s see you later! 🥰 We have loved having @maryedoris working with our Eco Council and other children across school. We have all learned so much and feel truly inspired as we move forward with our gardening. Thanks for everything and see you next year 💙🌷
I had the best morning at @GardenShowIRL where I was on the panel for @bbcradioulster Gardeners corner.

Please don't turn your lawn into plastic. Plastic grass reduces food & shelter for wildlife such as bees & butterflies; has a high carbon footprint; sheds micro-plastics which wash into our rivers and seas. Create a wildlife-friendly space instead. More bit.ly/3wE67P8 🐝
That’s me finished up with all my groups for the summer. I want to thank every single person who has attended my classes.
I will hopefully be doing more bits for radio ulster which I absolutely love and I will spend a lovely summer with my family. 💚

Our Sensory Garden is blooming! A big thanks to @maryedoris, our fantastic caretakers Kevin and Stephen, and of course the children who have worked so hard at getting this off the ground. New beginnings on June the 1st, and what a coincidence when we looked at today’s quote! 🥰
I had the best day @NewRowPS where we planted up a couple of the new raised beds with tactile plants and herbs. We also planted up some lettuce and beetroot plugs and rescued some strawberries. The kids did a great job. @RHSSchools @UlsterWildlife @DavidGMaxwell
Sweet Chestnut tree in my garden. I’m so glad that I can sit under it and enjoy the shade it provides. #garden #trees #NoMowMay @bbcniweather

Chives are one of the best and easiest plants to grow and are loved by pollinators. Have you got any in your garden? #bees #pollinators #gardenfornature #garden

This the salad I sowed at @balmoralshow this year with @PaulReilly101 and @sarahclarke_utv
It doesn’t get much easier than this to grow your own using a morellis ice cream tub (drainage holes in the bottom), peat free compost and some cut and come again salad seeds. #growyourown

Found this beauty today. I think it’s a “woolly bear” aka tiger moth larvae. @savebutterflies @UlsterWildlife #nature #wildlife #nomowmay

I had the best morning at The Open door Complex in Bellaghy this morning where I talked about gardening for the senses. We planted up a herb bed outside and a vegetable bed inside. #communitygarden #sensorygarden

What better way to mark @OutdoorClassDay than to get outdoors and busy in our Sensory Garden. Our Eco Council take huge pride in maintaining this area and planting for purpose, we can’t wait to have some radishes and salad leaves for lunch! 🥗

@maryedoris
I had a great day with the kids from @NewRowPS where we sowed radish and cut and come again salad leaves and made wildflower seed bombs. It was great to get outside and celebrate #OutdoorClassroomDay #gardeningwithkids @RHSSchools
I had so much fun doing this wee piece with @PaulReilly101 and @sarahclarke_utv I have received such lovely feedback from everyone that saw it. I am really pushing myself to do more things like this. #challengeyourself #youonlyliveonce
