As the seasons change, it’s the perfect time to pause, take a breath and check in with yourself.

Join us for a gentle Autumn Reset Workshop designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself and create some space for what comes next.

We’ll begin with 45 minutes of yoga and breathwork, helping you release tension, quieten the mind and bring yourself into the present moment.

Then, using the Wellness Wheel, we’ll take a little time to reflect on where you are right now - what’s working, what might need more attention, and what you’d like to change.

From there, we’ll move into gentle goal-setting and journalling, helping you turn those reflections into some simple, meaningful intentions for the months ahead.

No pressure, no perfect plans - just a chance to pause, reflect and reset.

Come as you are. Leave feeling a little clearer, calmer and ready for the season ahead.

You can book your place on our website:

Do you want to grow your own cut flowers?

Maybe you want to grow them for your own house, gift them to others or grow flowers for your wedding?

Autumn is the best time to start growing for an early display next Spring. With our changeable whether, Autumn sown blooms tend to have stronger stems and can withstand drought better than those sown in Spring. This course is also designed for those living in Scotland, with our lower light levels and colder starts to the year.

Join me, Fay Gourlay, a flower farmer based in East Lothian, and a community of others who want to do just that!

Each month you will receive either a seed pack, containing 3 lots of seeds to sow that month or a tutorial on topics such as 'How to Cut, Condition and Arrange Your Flowers' (you will receive a seed pack on 4 out of the 6 months of this course).

You will also receive monthly detailed guides on what we are sowing, video sow alongs, how to guides on topics such as designing your cut flower patch, updates and tips and a monthly jobs list for your patch...as well as access to our private Facebook group where I will be on hand to answer any questions.

The first seed packs will be sent out on the 16th September.

If this sounds like you, sign up on our website:

If you miss the first seed pack you can still join us after the 16th September.

The difference between a garden that feels chaotic… and one that feels calm?

Cohesion

And it’s not about spending more money or ripping everything out.
It’s about repeating, simplifying, and being a little more intentional with what you choose.

Start small. One bed. One palette. One repeated plant.

That’s how it begins...

For those following along with my trampoline zone overhaul in the garden...making a massive metal trampoline feel like part of the garden is not the only problem.

This corner doesn’t get full sun - and the trampoline naturally dominates it.

So instead of trying to hide it or work against it, I’m leaning into softer, shade-tolerant planting to help it settle into the space.

Think layers of foliage, gentle movement, and a more relaxed, natural feel.

Having a shady spot in your garden doesn't mean it needs to be ignored...a shady area is less about creating a showpiece - and more about creating somewhere that invites you to pause, maybe sit (or swing if you have space for a hammock) and relax.

I’ll share the full planting as it evolves...

The easiest way to create a new flower bed!

I said yesterday that I would upload a video of me creating a no dig bed…here it is.

It took 12.5 minutes in total! I’m going to add a little more compost after it settles to raise the level a bit.

What this will do is kill off the grass and any annual weeds underneath the cardboard. Perennial weeds may still make it through but they will be weaker and more easily managed…

…a great way to add a flower bed, particularly in a new build garden which may not have good soil health or depth.

No dig beds are all the rage...but they are popular for a reason...
..they are really easy to do!

They are also good for the ecology of your soil as you don't disturb what is there to build a new bed...you basically build on top of the ground.

I'll pop up a timelapse video of how I did mine and you can see how quick it is!

Well, now that I have made the decision to tackle the trampoline zone of the garden first I had better come up with a plan!

Lets face it they are not the prettiest of things, but it has to stay.

In my mind I am picturing a flower bed wrapping around the front side...with tall, whimsical planting which will create a secret den type area...think sleeping beauty's castle covered in greenery.

However, I am on a budget so the tall and established planting will have to wait...I will have to start with smaller plants (cheaper to buy) that, with some TLC, will grow and become that whimsical picture in my head (maybe! 😆).

Come back tomorrow to see the best (and easiest) way to start a new flower bed in a new build garden!
