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 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.

My mums Viburnum (always known by us as the pom-pom tree) is looking amazing. I remember this as a youngster being a small bush. I took this yesterday afternoon while the sun was out, but it’s torrential rain out there now. Hope my allotment is getting a good water. #virburnum #garden #pompomtree

A new recipe print is available in my Etsy shop, and it’ll be on my blog soon. Hope you’ve all got some rhubarb left. Swipe left to see the actual muffins, of course I had to test out the recipe, just for you! #rhubarbmuffins #rhubarbrecipe #illustratedrecipe #recipeprint #foodillustration #theydrawandcook

A few herbs harvested from the plot. Chives, oregano, sage and lemon balm. We had a good 3 hours on the plot this morning. I planted out my tomatoes 🤞 and some more lettuce. Dug over the final weedy bed. Lots of general weeding, mowing and path edging. Still got courgettes, squash, leeks and brassicas to plant but we’re getting there and the plot looks neat and tidy for once. I’ll update you with a video soon. How’s everyone else getting on?

The peas are starting to flower, the potatoes are starting to come up, the onions are starting to fatten. All good signs of good things to come. #allotment #allotmentlife #gardening #growyourownfood #gyo #installotment #allotmentsofinstagram #peaflower

These little beauties are about to make me some delicious pink chive vinegar. 😋 I feel a bit guilty snatching them from the bees, but there were plenty still about to flower. If you want to make this, just fill a clean, sterilised jar with the flowers, cover with white vinegar and leave alone for about 6 weeks. Then drain, bottle the vinegar and use in your salad dressings. I’m literally down to my last drop from last years supply. #chiveflowers #preserves #chivevinegar #chivesflowers

My ‘Grower’s Guides’ prints have been popular in my shop. So I decided it was time to add another one. A Grower’s Guide to Beans is now available, and you can also buy a set of all 3 (swipe across to see). Hoping to get down to the plot this evening to plant out my climbing French beans. 💚🌱
