Kt’s Permaculture Garden - Summer & Autumn 2023

Notice board/insect habitat

It’s just over eight months since my border collie Floss died. Two and a half seasons have passed. Ever since then I’ve had a strange low level disconnect from my garden, which is the opposite to what I predicted. Yes things have happened, (nature doesn’t  stop for grief, luckily), but it’s all felt mundane, hard work and to be honest, a bit pointless. So its been really useful today to look back at photos I’ve taken in the garden over that time and be reminded of some times where I felt my garden holding my hand as I’ve wandered through these weeks and months.

​Here are a few of them.

My lovely friend Laz came and did a photo shoot in the garden, they are a wonderful photographer!

My favourite sit spot is way too big without Floss
