EPUBBING with NICOLA FURLONG

I find gardening a great joy and get some of my best ideas while puttering around my yard.

I’m a poppy fanatic and grow salmon, orange, red, white, yellow, mauve, pink and purple poppies and hope to germinate some fabled blue ones this year.

This low growing perennial blooms into a stunning foam of yellow white.

Our dear little red-headed Auzzie terrier.

Always love whimsy in my garden, like this combo of Baby’s Tears blanketing the little piggy.

Nothing more inviting than a little stepping stone path…

Our sweet little Himalayan cat.

Something about orange and violet; an astoundingly beautiful combination.

So…what gets your creative writing juices going? While you’re pondering, check out a few more recent garden pics below.

My heart garden which highlights the centre of the back yard.

Drought tolerant plants and pots stylishly reduce watering needs.

Bluebells, Irish moss and stepping stones.

Yellow and lilac; one of Van Gogh’s fav colour combos.
