Welcome to ‘The Gardens Blog!’.
About ‘The Gardens Blog’ – I’m Nathalie and this is my little corner of the internet where I share everything I have learnt about creating, nurturing and enjoying gardens – no matter the challenges!
I’ve always been fascinated by how a well-tended garden can transform not just a space, but a whole day. Whether it’s a sunny slope, stubborn clay soil, or a small balcony garden, I love experimenting with ways to turn even the trickiest spots into thriving, vibrant green spaces.
Why I Started This Blog
Gardening can be incredibly rewarding, but it’s not always easy. Over the years, I’ve faced my fair share of gardening challenges, from clay-heavy soil to tricky slopes, boggy areas, poor soil quality and rubble. I wanted to create a space where fellow garden lovers could find practical advice, inspiration, and a little encouragement to help their gardens flourish—whatever the conditions.

A Little About Me
I’m not just a gardener or a ‘garden blogger’ — I love nurturing the all the natural world, helping plants grow, birds and animals visit, and seeing outdoor spaces transform. When I’m not in the garden, I love being with my family and pets and you might find me photographing pretty gates and doorways, getting inspiration from other gardens I happen across, planning my next planting, making cuttings or sharing my discoveries with fellow green thumbs.
I believe every garden has potential, and I hope The Gardens Blog helps you unlock yours. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned gardener, you’ll find ideas, tips, and inspiration to make your garden bloom beautifully.
