Flowers, flowers and more flowers with Katrina @summerfield_plot_and_garden_13

Hello, and welcome back to of Diaries of a Lady Gardener!

If you think gardening is cool and would rather take a trip to the garden centre than go out out, then you’ve found the right podcast. But also, you’re not in the minority. 

Research from Draper Tools has revealed that over 80% of young people officially think gardening is cool, mainly because of its benefits for mental health and the environment. 

Draper Tools are sponsors of the Diaries of a Lady Gardener podcast, so why not join me in following them on Instagram, “at Draper underscore tools”?

In this episode I went to meet Katrina from @summerfield_plot_and_garden_13. We spent the afternoon eating sandwiches and cake, chatting all things cut flowers. As someone who grows flowers for multiple sibling weddings in a single year on an allotment, she’s a foundation of knowledge and has given me so much inspiration for my own flower patch AND, she is just the loveliest lady. So, here she is, dahlia and wedding flower queen, Katrina!!

Being able to meet people in real life that you chat to pretty much everyday on Instagram is always weird because it’s never awkward - it’s just like meeting old friends. I loved spending the day with Katrina, seeing her plot and plants and hearing about her plans. Pop over to @summerfrield_plot_and_garden_13 to watch her flower patch come to life and who knows, maybe one day soon we’ll be celebrating the launch of our own flower farming empire!

That’s all from me, happy growing!
