About Me

Growing up in a small town in Italy, I always dreamed of having my own vegetable garden, but my parents never allowed it. Their focus was on practicality, and gardening seemed like a distant dream. After moving to the U.K. for work, life took unexpected turns, including some significant health challenges, both mental and physical. These experiences opened my eyes to the importance of living life to the fullest and pursuing what truly brings me joy.


Determined to embrace my passion for gardening, I decided to take the plunge and create my own little slice of green. This blog is a reflection of my journey as a beginner smallholder, sharing the ups and downs, tips, and the joy of nurturing plants. I hope to inspire others who, like me, have dreams waiting to blossom. Life is too short to hold back, and I’m excited to cultivate not just a garden, but a fulfilling life centered around my love for nature and sustainable living. Join me on this adventure!
