Hi, thanks for visiting the blog. I’m Nic – a garden and nature writer based in Hertfordshire. I’m also a peat-free gardener, keen birdwatcher, inveterate bookworm and mum to two budding growers. Join me as I follow my crops from plot to plate, explore new plants and share the wonder and beauty of the nature world…

Quince blossom has returned to Benslow Hill - a lifting, a stirring, something vital this way comes...

Spectacular sunrise over the old watercress beds; surprised a pair of little egrets which flew off the path & into the willows to watch me haughtily as I ran by. First violet along the snicket. Chilly but invigorating morning to be out & about.

Holloway run, out and about with the kids and first flock of redwings on the Cotoneaster lacteus. Chilly but fun day before real life begins again next week.

Impressed with the new green wall that I spotted on the way to work in Hammersmith this morning. Hope it is well maintained so the heucheras, sarcococca, ferns and grasses continue to thrive.

New Year's chocolate log, complete with bracket fungi and lichen. Happy New Year everyone!

Old man of the woods watching me as I walked and worked in the alder carr this afternoon.

Preparation for Christmas Chilean guava trifle is underway... 🎄

Nature Notes

Nature Notes January 8, 2020
Black Bryony and the Jaggy Creel. Dawn, and a mist rises from the lake by the big house, and a small cloud inversion hovers over the source of the River Enborne.

Gardens, Weeds and Words

Rootbound. Rewilding a Life January 21, 2020
Sometimes, good things have to fall apart, so that better things can fall together. Whether or not we can confidently attribute this insight to Marilyn Monroe, it’s particularly apt for this, the second book from Alice Vincent. Over the course of Rootbound, the life of the author unravels and then – to the rhythms of the natural world – knits back together, […]
