Welcome to my gardening blog!

Hello, fellow garden lovers! My name is Hellie and I’m 'The Barton Lady Gardener'

and owner of Barton Gardenscapes in Staffordshire. I have been passionate about gardening since I was a child, and I love to share my knowledge and experience with others.

That's why I decided to create this blog, where I will be posting articles with useful advice and tips for maintaining your gardens yourselves, as well as helpful information to help those thinking of undertaking a redesign project. Whether you have a small courtyard garden or a large several acre estate, I hope you will find something here that will inspire you and make your gardening journey easier and more enjoyable.

Some of the many topics that I will cover in this blog are:

- How to choose the right plants for your climate and soil type

- How to prune, water, fertilize, and mulch your plants to keep them healthy

- How to deal with pests, diseases, and weeds

- How to design and plan your garden layout

- How to create a wildlife-friendly garden that attracts birds, bees, and butterflies

- How to make your own compost, mulch, and organic fertilizers

- How to care for roses

- How to maximise your space in a small garden layout

- And much more!

I hope you will join me on this blog and share your comments, questions, and feedback. I would love to hear from you and learn from your experiences as well. Together, we can make our gardens more beautiful, healthy, and sustainable.

Thank you for visiting my blog and happy gardening!
