My name is Lola. I feel privileged to be able to share my experiences of the things I love with you through my blog and quarterly features on Kinimori.
I am passionate about plants and horticulture, and exploring their links with human existence and creativity.
I hope this blog inspires you. Feel free to leave a comment or follow me on social media. Enjoy!
A fallen tree decaying, playing its part in the cycle of life. It is good to see things for what they really are.
A purpose reaffirmed after malicious criminal attacks on my garden.
The end of the main fruit and vegetable growing season is here. It's good to grow your own!
Autumn is here. Roses continue to bloom. Some plants are making a last hoorah before winter. Some are already dying back and shedding leaves. Some, like autumn-flowering crocuses, have made their first appearance for the year! It’s also harvest time for maincrop potatoes and some brassicas.
I remember. Today is the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition.
Gladioli are a much-welcomed sight of summer for me, symbols of August, the month of my birth.
It’s mulberry harvesting time! Black mulberries, Morus nigra, are ripe and ready. Chelsea King James I and Charlotte Rouse varieties. Delicious berries.
