About me



I'm a half Finnish designer who has since taken a break to bring up my children. I used to work in Graphic Design, but now I prefer working with textiles and illustration. This blog is about my allotment and garden. I have been gardening for many years and grew up watching my mum and dad do the same. I began my allotment in Jan 2010 in memory of my father who passed a way just before then. I also love cooking and finding inventive and delicious ways to make my produce into meals. I'm growing with my experiences, and welcome any helpful advice! Sometime soon I hope to use my garden as inspiration for my art.

Sadness and new beginnings

So as you imagined, we moved to Eastbourne, and now it is time for me to say goodbye to the Lamberhurst Furnace Lane blog. It was probably a short and sweet experience, just 2 years I worked on the plot, but I learnt so much in that time. All this knowledge will not be wasted but put to use in creating my new garden. We have fortunately found a house with a huge garden, (well huge for me!) enough for a bountiful vegetable patch and small orchard. I will return to Furnace Lane to put my allotment 'to bed' and to bring back my fruit bushes. If you are interested in following my journey there, please come to my new blog which is called Josephine's garden. Many thanks for following me.
