I have recently become a little obsessed with ferns, I have been looking for a maidenhair everywhere since seeing the second picture. Yesterday was a winning day, I received my Fern Fever Book in the post (my sister thinks this purchase is hilarious) and I found a tiny little maidenhair fern in a corner shop for 99p...score! He is a little battered but I am hoping he will make it.

Any successful maidenhair growers out there please leave your tips below xx

Conservatory's and Greenhouses....

I can remember the moment I fell for Victorian style conservatories and began dreaming of living in a huge green house. I must have been 8 years old and we went on a visit to Kew Gardens. There was a beautiful conservatory with Lemon and Orange Trees and a large greenhouse with huge lily-pads that I remember being very disappointed that I wasn't aloud to sit on. It was around that time I read the Secret Garden....

Growing up we visited loads of National Trust properties and I have to be honest I found them a bit boring, but now I cant get enough. Although I find the interiors aren't often to my taste the gardens and conservatories are so beautiful and inspiring....

Heaven!!!
