Cornerstone Garden Life
Nestled in between the rolling hills of Kingsbridge, south in South Devon, surrounded by various beaches, woods and natural beauty (the South Hams in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), it's home to wonderful wildlife from blue jellyfish in the estuary to slow worms and bats in my garden. Here at Cornerstone Garden Life you will find all the tools to create your own beautiful green growing space, whether it's growing flowers or food. Learn about permaculture principles and how to make your own raised beds for little money and cook with the produce you've grown.
Keep up to date with the changes I make in my garden to create a perennial food forest brimming with wildlife. Sharing my growing space with various bugs, bees, birds, reptiles & mammals like bats and hedgehogs (and ok, the cats too). I am making it my mission to accommodate as much life as possible, from the mighty ant to the ever expanding mycelium network below the soil by using methods like no-dig, permaculture and no pesticides or chemicals.
This site is something I've created to share my experiences growing my own and making things for my garden from bits I had lying around. It's my journal and basically a glorified-over-the-top blog.
I hope you can find inspiration here or ideas to apply to your own growing spaces and have fun browsing around the recipes, plant profiles and DIYs.
