Our blog pick - Ann Marie Powell's My Real Garden

The award-winning and charismatic celebrity garden designer, presenter and writer, is media friendly and has appeared on various Youtube videos sharing her extensive knowledge and experience of garden design and gardens and enthusing people about gardening.  Recently she’s been turning her attention to revamping her own garden.

And, inspired by getting lots of messages from friends who wanted help and advice with their own garden, she is sharing her progress, ideas and tips on a blog as well as feeds on Twitter, Facebook and in particular Instagram – where she’s been doing daily live video demos at 12:30pm on everything from a run down on her favourite gardening books and to growing edibles.

She has been joined by designer friends such as James Alexander-Sinclair and Joe Swift.  Ann Marie Powell has great energy and this is a great way to feel connected and part of a community of gardening enthusiasts.
