YOUR GARDEN STORIES WITH
Butter Wakefield
WHO INSPIRED YOU TO GET INTO GARDENING?
My grandfather, a real Anglophile and garden enthusiast had beautiful very English mixed borders and I can remember being enthralled by them as a child and I think my love for his love happened quite early on in my young life.
WHERE DO YOU GARDEN?
I garden every weekend for myself in my own garden, and all over the place for my clients. I feel terribly lucky I get to do what I adore every single day.
WHAT DOES GARDENING DO FOR YOU EITHER PHYSICALLY OR EMOTIONALLY?
It restores me emotionally and fulfills me creatively and exhausts me physically everything I need for a perfect reset at the end of a hectic week of work.
IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE THREE DESERT ISLAND PLANTS WHAT WOULD THEY BE?
A highly scented old-fashioned rose, Alchemilla mollis and Agastache Blue Bloa (Mexican Giant Hyssop)as the pollinators love it so!
WHAT IS THE GARDENING OR FLORISTRY TOOL YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT?
I do love my Niwaki secateurs, they stay sharp for ages and make a terribly satisfying clack clack clack noise when you’re pruning.
