Thank you for visiting Lucie In The Willows. Just in case you were wondering who I am, my name is Lucie Wellburn.
Who I Am
By day normally, I am a Virtual Assistant, I run my own virtual assistance company, The Willows Virtual Services, and I am also a wife and a mum, who loves to garden. I am an avid gardener, however, I am not trained in any specialised horticultural field, but I don’t think that you have to be to enjoy your garden. I just do what I’ve learned along the way.
Sometimes I get it wrong and sometimes things just go right, without me knowing exactly what I’ve done to replicate it. I always say, “If a plant dies in my garden, it is obviously not supposed to be here.
I’ve always had a garden in which to tinker and potter around…then but in 2018, I introduced my husband Darren to a house with a garden almost three times the size of our then garden. Not just three times as big, but fully overgrown with brambles! You couldn’t see beyond the front of the house for the overspill of growth burgeoning from the side.
I actually expected him to laugh at me and run away, fast as he could but he didn’t. He too could see the potential of what it could be. We have a son with autism and he’s not always a fan of leaving the house, so to have such a wide expanse of garden to play in would be hugely beneficial to our son and us.
I love to get my camera out and take photographs, which is what prompted me to start this blog, Lucie In The Willows so that I could share them with you, all of which are in my blogs and on our PicFair page.
Obviously, I have to say it still isn’t finished, over 5 years on, but there is no endgame here, just an ever-growing garden, although these days it’s nice to be able to just sit back and enjoy the garden as it is, whilst making plans of what to do next.
So here I am, sharing what we do, in the hopes it inspires you to get out into your garden too.
Lucie
