Puttering in the Garden

Or, Enjoying watching others make their spaces magical!

I have never, ever claimed to be a gardener. Ever. I do, however, enjoy puttering with plants on my deck or, more likely, inside my home. I also have a friend or two with actual green thumbs.

Lately I’ve been indulging in watching some of my regular (or not so regular) YouTubers as they get their garden spaces ready for Spring and Summer.

Catherine, over at Dainty Diaries, recently brought us along as she cleaned her back garden and got ready for warmer weather.

Mr. Carrington recently headed off to work on his roof garden. Check out his channel to see how the roof garden has evolved over the years. I have to say he has encouraged me over the years. I love the random, easy way he has of collecting plants and tucking them into pots.

Luke Catleugh has been spending time in his garden and the result are quite lovely. He is a newbie, just getting started and it has been fun watching him learn, experiment and enjoy the results. Check out his channel HERE.

DIY Danie has recently started working on this year’s garden. You can follow along or catch up by visiting her channel. I love what she has done with the greenhouse and the new addition(s) this year will be lovely to watch.

I recently discovered Shelby’s Cottage and have been captivated by her efforts to update her home and garden. Check out her channel HERE.

Each of these channels has a different approach to the way they deal with their spaces. Each brings something new and interesting. For someone like me, who does not really enjoy cookie cutter homes or gardens, there is a lot to take in and see if I can bring something similar to my home and garden.

At the end of the day, each is unique and pleasant. Just the kind of space I enjoy.
