Unlike my mum I have never been green fingered. My mum has always had a beautiful garden. It is something she takes pride in and spends a lot of time on. There are times when I look at my children and think how can I keep two humans alive? I can’t even keep a plant alive!

To start our green finger journey, we do need to look at investing in the correct garden tools. This is something we have never done. Our lawn mower was passed down from my mum.
