Here’s to many more garden adventures ahead! 🌿✨
🌼🌳 Excited to share that I’ll be looking after this stunning garden nestled in the Regis Park area!
Every corner is bursting with beauty and life. Can’t wait to nurture this little slice of paradise and watch it flourish.

Nature really knows how to bounce back! 🍁✨
🌺💚 Gave my parents a tour of the STIHL hedge trimmers while showing off the beautiful Camellia! Revisited the Japanese maple last Friday and was thrilled to see it thriving—those new leaves are so lush and vibrant after the winter pruning.
