Bonjour!
Well, this is the video where I will probably say things all of you long time subscribers have been thinking and even saying to me for the past 5 years :)
I have learned so much about gardening in the past years. Mostly that I truly don't enjoy it and the only reason I keep myself motivated is that I know how much I enjoy my garden during spring, summer and fall!
In this video I want to share what I have learned about creating the cottage garden that I have been dreaming of since we moved to France and moved into this French farmhouse in the countryside. Thanks so much for being here!
Love,
Marloes
