One of my neighbours has asked me to help them plan their garden. They like ours, and have never gardened before, so I’m going to be designing them a simple garden and making a list of plants for them to buy to set them on their way.

I’d like to encourage them to put a few fruiting plants into the garden to promote the idea of growing your own food. Most people seem to like it once they’ve tried it, and there’s no better way of cutting out food-miles.

I’ll post the design and list to the blog once I’ve finished it.

UPDATE: I’ve handed over the only copy of the design and planting list to my neighbour without thinking about making a copy for the blog. Never mind, I’m looking forward to seeing their garden transformed.
