how did my mom turn her tiny uk yard into a flower paradise?

My mom’s backyard used to be just grass and a couple of sad shrubs. Now, it’s a total explosion of color. She swears by planting in layers—tall sunflowers in the back, then roses, and a border of lavender. It’s wild how much that changes the vibe. She mixes in veggies too, so you’ll spot tomatoes and beans climbing up trellises. She always says the secret is feeding the soil, not just the plants. Compost is her magic trick. We spend weekends deadheading flowers and picking fresh herbs for dinner. It’s become our little ritual. The best part? Watching butterflies and bees show up every morning. Makes all the digging worth it. #gardeningtips #backyardbliss #ukgardens #momsknowbest #Gardening
