And finally...
We are now well into 2023. The excitement of crossing the threshold into a new year has settled and we gaze ahead wondering what the next 12 months will offer. I’ve lost count of the number of times I have been asked what the next gardening trend is likely to be and the answer is always the same: “I haven’t a clue.” But I know what I would like to see happen – atruer appreciation of gardening skills and cultivation techniques, and the passing on of such knowledge rather than some faux-holistic attempt to get ‘back to nature’, the very implication of which implies a hands-off rather than hands-on approach.
