The Fairly Quiet Gardener
A Gardener’s Journey to Shape a Landscape and Create a Garden
Design, Landscape, Garden ~~ Learn, Dream, and Go Do!
Inspired by a lifelong love of English country gardens
Welcome!
A very warm welcome to The Fairly Quiet Gardener website and from me, “Weedy Pete”, the fairly quiet gardener. I assume that you have found your way here because we share in a love for gardening, landscaping, nature and other assorted fun! Or perhaps you’ve just strayed from your usual paths and accidentally found yourself at this site. Either way…
I hope you will find this site entertaining, enjoyable, interesting, and perhaps even the source of inspiration for a new idea within your own garden. And, through your comments and experiences shared, I (and my garden) hope to be able to benefit as well.
One of the main purposes of this site, the blog, and videos on The Fairly Quiet Gardener YouTube channel is to share the journey of creating a garden from scratch on an acre of former cow pasture. So, follow along (if that’s your kind of thing) and check back as the story and the garden progress through the seasons!
The blog features a variety of content~
A personal journey to create our version of an English country garden 4,700 miles from the real thing.
A garden journal, garden stories, and garden wildlife.
Seasonal tips, gardening ideas and recommendations, plant spotlights.
Tool and supply recommendations, garden structure projects.
Book recommendations, an English Setter named Daisy, and more.
So, settle in with a ‘cuppa’ and read some blog posts, leave a comment, share your wit and wisdom, or put on a Fairly Quiet Gardener “day-in-the-garden” video in the background and relax (or sleep…).
