Welcome to Zoe’s Garden Prints!

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 items that are currently for sale in my Etsy shop. You can click on the link on that page, or the orange Etsy badge where you see it.

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.

Wow, thanks everyone. In the same week I've made 5k followers here and my first 100 sales on Etsy. Couldn't be more chuffed. Off to a friends wedding this weekend, so having a break from gardening, have lovely weekends whatever you're doing. 😘 #5k State of play on the allotment (bottom half) - lettuce has bolted, mange-tout have fattened up with peas, first flower on the courgette (you can see a hint of yellow behind the lettuce), potatoes starting to die back, onions and shallots ready to be lifted, sweetcorn and squashes growing well. Very dry but thankfully few weeds/pests/diseases (so far, so good). Pondering - what can I sow in the gaps? #allotment #allotmentlife #growingvegetables #veggiepatch #allotmenteering #allotmentgarden This is the first time I've successfully managed to grow California poppies from seed. I had no idea how much the hoverflies love them. The flowers thrive in hot sunny weather, and close up in cloudy weather, so this mad English heatwave has brought them on beautifully, but I'd better make the most of them! #calaforniapoppy #eschscholziacalifornica #eschscholzia #flowers #orange #hoverflies #sunlovers Some of this years garlic harvest. Though they be but little, they are fierce. #garlic #allotment #homegrownveg #growgarlic #garlicharvest Calendula petals laid out to dry. I probably should have dried them on the flower heads first, but never mind, live and learn. Once dry you can store them in an airtight jar and then add to rice dishes, soups or sprinkle onto salads or cake toppings. You can also make an infusion in olive oil to use as an ointment. All these years I've only grown them for pest control, but they have so many uses. Determined to make more of them. Just google or Pinterest search calendula for more info. #calendula #potmarigold #calendulaofficinalis Today's colourful, if slightly random, little harvest. #allotment #allotmentgrown #harvest #pickings #homegrownveg
