When we moved into our new build 4 years ago, the garden was basically just a rectangle of turf and fencing… no character, no life, nothing for wildlife.

Slowly (and very much on a budget), we started transforming it. We added veggie beds, a greenhouse, a shed, trees, herbs, flowers, and started growing our own veg. Now it’s a space full of colour, food, and constant movement from bees, butterflies and birds.

It’s still not “finished” (not sure gardens ever are..), but looking back at where we started vs now feels pretty amazing.

If you’ve got a plain new build garden it can become something special. Just start small and keep going.

The original photograph shows the harbour at Anstruther Easter. The harbour is lined with large, open fishing vessels of the ‘Fifie’ type, a local design of two-masted boat which had a vertical stem and stern. Dominating the skyline is the Chalmers Memorial Church. It opened for worship in 1889 and was demolished in 1991.
