Andrea’s Path to Plants

Here’s your friendly reminder before you roll into the garden centre like it’s a plant party (because it is, let’s be honest):

🪴 Start with a list. Write down your must-haves – those plants you know you can grow and already have a spot for. Get those into your cart first before you get distracted by all the shiny flowers. (Magpies, I see you.)

🪴 Pick one “showstopper.” Not twelve. Just one statement plant to be the star of your garden this year. Simplicity often makes for the most stunning spaces.

🪴 Set a budget. Garden centres are magical, must be all the fresh oxygen. Don’t fall under the plant spell. Try your best to stick to your spending limit.

🪴 Got room in the budget? That’s when you get your splurge plant. Mine’s the hibiscus in the pic—totally worth it.

Happy planting, friends! And remember: your garden, your rules, and we don’t judge if you break ‘em.
