I love inspiring people to grow flowers, especially annual summer flowers which are close to my heart because every year it offers the opportunity to create an entirely new garden with new colors and shapes. Every little flower makes a difference to the biodiversity, even if it's just a pot of marigolds standing on the doorstep inviting bees and bumblebees, it's worth it!

If I could only grow one flower for the rest of my life, I would choose the rose campion. It's very easy to grow and produces an enormous number of beautiful flowers during the summer, perhaps the most productive of them all!
