About Me

Hi, I'm Andrea Hartley 🌱 Fifteen years ago I killed a basil plant on a tiny Brighton balcony. Today I tend a half-acre cottage garden in southern England — and Explore Your Garden is where I share everything I've learned along the way.

I was tired of recycled, generic gardening tips. "Water when dry. Full sun. Feed in spring." All true, all useless when your tomato is dying and you don't know why.

So here you'll find honest guides, real photos and tested results — including the failures. Vegetables, perennials, houseplants, pruning, pests: practical advice that works in real gardens, not just glossy magazines.

Grab a cup of tea, get comfortable, and explore your garden with me. 🌷
