The Useful Garden in its first spring.

Hi everyone and thanks so much for joining us on our ‘Useful Garden Guide’! We hope you find it, well, useful! This guide will be updated as the garden progresses but please enjoy what has been created so far. Pip and Hugo xo

WHAT IS A USEFUL GARDEN?

To be honest, it’s a term I made up because I kept jumping between the term Herb Garden, Kitchen Garden and Kitchen Apothecary, and soon no one knew what I was referring to, so I decided to keep it simple……. “The Useful Garden”, because essentially everything planted in this garden right by the house, is exactly that, rather useful. This can mean for use as a culinary herb, a homemade plant pest treatment or fertiliser, a tea, a tincture, a household cleaning product……as you can see, useful plants.
