Newsletter: 12th May
We were delighted to be invited to update Jekka’s Riverstone culinary kitchen herb garden to reflect the latest thinking for Blue Zone gardening.
Blue Zone gardening has been said to contribute to a healthier and longer life. In Jekka's latest blog, we explore what Blue Zones are, how they relate to gardening, and the key principles that can transform your garden into a source of vitality and well-being.
We love the new found interest in Blue Zone Gardens but believe we have been growing and living by the same ethos for over 40 years.
