GARDENING is a rewarding, entertaining and healthy hobby which for many can become a life’s passions, becoming a way of life and a way to escape from the world in their own little space.

Among a host of flora and fauna which cram the many flower borders, it is the Gertrude Jekyll roses of which Linda particularly loves.
