On this page, you'll find an overview of what I'm growing in my garden, periodic updates when changes are made, or other details.
If you'd like to leave feedback about the garden, or to request seeds, cuttings, please do contact me via the info on my contact page. I generally try to keep a supply of seeds for as many of my plants as possible, but as always, it depends.
Here's a detailed list of all the plants I've got in my garden. For each plant, I try to include its scientific name, place of origin, and a small description, usually taken from Wikipedia or other sources listed at the bottom of each plant's info.
