Welcome!

I’m a designer and illustrator who is passionate about gardening and in particular growing fruit and vegetables on my allotment.

The gallery of pictures on the home page show some of the items that are for sale in my Etsy shop. You can click on the link on that page, or the orange Etsy badge below, to visit the shop.

On the blog page, you can read about my allotment. There are posts about what and how I grow, how I combat pests and diseases, and how I store and preserve my harvests, along with as many photos as possible.

I also keep a little journal where I practice my drawing skills by documenting my allotment journey in ink and watercolours.

You can also follow me on Instagram and Twitter under the account @zoes_garden for more regular updates on my plot and prints.

I know it’s still only January and we could have snow yet, but the sight of buds on my hellebores has really lifted my spirits today. Part of me wants Spring to hurry up, but sometimes it comes too early which isn’t good, so I have to be patient. All in good time. But look 👀 almost flowers! ☺️ Anyone got snowdrops yet? I’ve seen a few in other people’s front gardens but mine are just coming up. #flowerhappy #helleborebuds #signsofspring
My #bestnine2019 I guess you all like my artwork as much as I’ve enjoyed doing it. There’ll be some more journaling next year, which I’m looking forward to. I especially want to get outdoors and draw more. Happy New Year to all my followers. 🥳
It’s a beautiful sunshiny Christmas Day here in Ely. The warmest of wishes to you all for Christmas, I hope you have a good one.
I’ve been so busy lately with freelance work and my Etsy shop, I’ve had no time at all for working on my garden journal and I’ve been getting withDRAWal symptoms 😂. The urge to do some drawing has been bugging me, so all week I’ve been eyeing up the Rose in my garden which has continued to push out flowers. Typically by yesterday, all the flowers had gone over and I was left only with a few flower buds. Undeterred in my quest for a drawing session, I picked them anyway and spent yesterday afternoon happily drawing. Buds are still beautiful right? #illustration #flowerart #theydrawandgarden #gardenjournal #rosebuds #rosesindecember #gentlehermione #iknowispeltitwrong
A few photos from our walk this morning. Frost, mist, crunchy leaves, blue skies, cold noses, a very muddy but happy dog. I love a good winter walk. Definitely too cold for any gardening! #mistyriver #winterwalk #cold #dailydogwalk #ely
Christmas shopping still to do? 🎁 Got a gardener friend/relative to buy for? 🌻 Want to just forget C and treat yourself instead? 🙋‍♀️😂 I have put together some set price gift packs of various items in my Etsy shop, to make life a little easier for you. There are packs available for £10, £15, £20, £25 or £30, with a couple of options on the 3 lower priced ones. Alternatively if you want to contact me with whatever budget you have, I’d be happy to be your personal shopper and give you a suggestion. All items in these packs work out cheaper than if purchased individually, but they’ll only be available until Christmas. 🎄
