Gardening Without Words

A new feature for The Guide to Gay Gardening I’ve decided to start snapping daily life wherever I go. It’s not an original idea and I first start thinking about it after friend and gardener Ryan Lewis started doing a similar project on his blog; Ryans Garden. The title is a slight white lie because of tagging requirements I need to add some text to each photo’s so there will be a ‘few’ words involved!

Most shots will be taken as I’m out and about with my iPhone, capturing what’s going on around me whether it’s gardening work, walking the dogs, or spotting new plants and wildlife. You’ll find a constant link in ‘MEDIA’ and in the sidebar, so feel free to pop in every day and see what the latest image is.

  • hi there, please check out my blog, cardsandphotographs.wordpress.co.uk. I am going to write regularly on alternative garden matters. pot pourri making, horticultural therapy, lavender in cooking, growing flowers for cutting etc. etc. Any chance of being a guest blogger – all ideas appreciated.

    With all good wishes. Marilyn

    Neat idea to take shots of everyday life regularly, but sure a lot of pictures to download and add descriptions to. I can’t keep up with my special events photos. Good luck.

    • Hi Sharon,

      Power to the smartphone! I can actually take shots on my iPhone, add tags and a description and upload them to the website via an app! I don’t know if I’d be able to keep up if I had to use a camera and download images first!

      Thanks for your comment,

      Geoff :)

Welcome to The Guide to Gay Gardening's new look!


Living in the grey smog of London utopia, I forge my little existence in a slightly loopy, hermity, hippy manner, sharing my life with the hens, cats and other menagerie that have somehow taken over my life.

If I'm not enjoying the great outdoors with my netbook in hand, I'll be snipping, pruning, planting, cutting, propagating, shovelling, or just plain admiring. You can even catch the occasional glimpse of me on the TV now and then!

Take the weight off for a while. Sit back, relax, read, send me feedback, but mostly just take a moment and look around you.....mother nature is beautiful.
