She has 4 rules for anyone taking a first stab at gardening her way:-
1. Keep it Simple. The less you have, the less there is to look after; leaving you more time to enjoy it.
2. Stick to easy plants - Read the instructions on the labels and you wont go far wrong.
3. Get stuck in. Making a start is the hardest bit and with gardening you learn a lot on the job.
4. and the really important one - have fun.
