WELCOME TO HORTICULTURALISH!
My name is Lucy. I live in a workman’s cottage in Battersea, London with my two dogs, Leo and Bella. Until 2023, I practiced as a family law barrister. I burned out, picked up a trowel, and never looked back. I am a committed amateur gardener, as well as a wildly enthusiastic amateur writer and photographer. You can read a little about me here, and a little about my journey into gardening (& my garden’s transformation) here.
In April 2025 I started renting Daisy Barn, a little barn conversion in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds. At DB I am starting a garden from scratch, with just my own two hands, and with more gusto than money, as well as learning the ropes of the country life as a born-and-raised Londoner.
Here you will find posts on any number of topics from my current planting plans, to films to cheer up a winter’s afternoon. You’ll find collages, photographs, and doodles. There will be musings on life and death, the right ratio of dogs to humans, and many, many garden visits.
PAID PALS - HOME AND AWAY
My day-to-day posts are free to read (home). Those crazies willing to pay money for more also get access to the full archive of posts, as well as exclusive photo-filled posts from garden visits (away).
PPs also get access to my full list of garden suppliers. Here you’ll find nurseries large and small, local suppliers, specialist growers, and fabulous places to buy your sundries.
PHOTOGRAPHY
All of the photography you see on Horticulturalish is by me, unless otherwise credited.
