One of my favorite books when I was young was called “The Secret Garden.” It’s the story of how a rather ill-tempered little girl finds a beautiful but unkempt garden tucked away on the grounds of a grand manor house in England. The garden changes both her and those around her. It’s a wonderful story that parallels a garden’s rejuvenation and change with that of the people who visit and take care of it.
Some other books about gardens that I came across more recently were the Linnea books, told from the point of view of cute little French girl Linnea, who loves plants and also loves the art of Claude Monet. Those books actually inspired me to try my hand at being a green thumb when I bought my first house.
There’s so much about gardening and plants to inspire us!

The rule is there are no rules!
Charming, unique homeware that you're likely to stumble across in a cool market or a tucked-away boutique (all at half price of course). Homesense is a store where shopping is fun, and unexpected, where you might find the very thing you weren't looking for.
It's no coincidence that we're called HomeSense. We make sure you don't pay over the odds. Absolutely everything in our store is up to 60% off the rrp everyday. Make sense?
This month we're having our own Spring clean out so now there's up to 80% off
unbelievable quality finds as well as one off gems, across our twenty four stores.
We're also having a Right Royal knees up this April to celebrate the wedding of the year. To mark the occasion, we've stacked the store with Cool Britannia dinnerware, tablecloths and outdoor furniture that's right up your street.
Come and explore the biggest 'home boutique' in Britain. We look forward to seeing you.
