Humble Beginnings

Back in 2010, my girlfriend and I moved in together. In my efforts to put my stamp on what was her place, I soon made it my mission to turn the bare, unloved balcony into an urban garden that we could be proud of.

One long weekend, I realised that this was going to be far easier said than done.

Firstly, I realised that I had no idea what plants I liked nor what kind would be right for our little east-facing balcony. I then realised that I was going to have to travel to the city’s far reaches to find a garden centre and, once I’d eventually got to one, I couldn’t find anyone or anything to help guide me. So I pulled out my iPhone and headed online. ‘Surely there’s a half-decent online garden centre’, I thought. And there was for the experienced country gardener whereas there was nothing for a clueless urban gardener like me.

In the end, I bought some plants from a nearby supermarket but, within four weeks, they were dead. The plant paradise I had promised to create soon looked rather sorry for itself.

Disheartened but still determined I picked up some books, got back on the horse named ‘Gardening’ and started again. In the meantime, I heard more and more of my friends were struggling with the same plant problems that I had been having. So I thought I’d try to find a way to help them and others like us.
