About Me

Marie Shallcross – marieowyn  –  a garden designer, gardening teacher &  garden consultant over at Plews Garden Design, where I also write a weekly award-winning gardening blog, Plews Potting Shed.

I’m a member of the prestigious Garden Media Guild and garden writing is something I do for other people and magazines too – see here

The pleasures of life – I enjoy reading, theatre, music, writing, science fiction, detective fiction (books & TV) gardening, photography, sudoku, the company of friends and family.

What else? A conservationist;  a hopeful cynic. I think best when dog walking or enjoying wine or espresso (although not usually at same time as walking my dog…)

“Be the change you wish to see in the world”

A good motto to live one’s life by.

“Always look on the bright side of life”

is another useful one when things are getting tough, or even just boring…

But most importantly

“Learn from
yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

The important thing is not to
stop questioning!”

yours, subject to change
