About Me and why I love nature

I have been attached to the magic of nature since I was a little girl. When I was a child, we had a wonderful rambunkled garden, full of flowers, veg, fruit and herbs, my dad had built this shack type thing that my mum called a summer house and grew honeysuckle and vines over it, so it became like a secret den, I would spend hours making mud pies and flower potions in it, I learnt a lot from my mum about different plants and was always keen to learn more. We looked after rescue ducks, had a hedgehog family living under the shed, and had a pet cat, dog, mouse, budgie and rabbit. In the big Laburnum tree outside my bedroom window lived an owl and a wood pigeon

This is my mum, she loved her garden and made a beautifully wild one, we were lucky enough to grow up in a council house which had a big wrap around garden, with trees, bushes, flowers, animals and an allotment area.
