how did my tiny london yard turn into a secret jungle oasis?

Three years ago, my backyard was just a patch of sad grass and a few weeds. I started small—just some pots with herbs and a couple of tomato plants. I never expected it to change my whole vibe at home. Every weekend, I’d add something new. Some lavender here, a rose bush there. I learned to mulch early, which kept the soil happy and the weeds away. Watering in the morning became my chill time. Watching everything grow was wild—like, I actually made this happen? Now, I’ve got birds visiting, flowers everywhere, and even a tiny veggie patch. My favorite hack? Mixing tall and short plants for that layered, cozy look. It’s my go-to spot to relax after work. Can’t believe how much joy a little dirt and patience brought me. #gardeningtips #urbanjungle #londonlife #backyardmakeover #Gardening
