Summer
What a Summer! The garden has been amazing but a few plants have suffered with the lack of rain. I don't water the main garden, just pots and veg, and it feels a bit cruel, but they have to survive in the current climate.
The exhibition at Wildegoose Nursery is now large in my rear view mirror! 'Drawn from the Earth' is on for just 3days - Thursday 4th to Saturday 6th September. I will be exhibiting some drawings and paintings, alongside ceramic heads by Sharon Griffin, wood sculpture by Glen Farrelly and pottery by Isatu Hyde.
As always a big thank you to my customers and followers. Please do come to Wildegoose!
Thank you, with love, Mary x

The Garden
When we moved into the Shippen, the garden was a grassed area bordered by a traditional mixed hedge. It was a blank canvas. Wildegoose Nursery planned and planted a wonderful mix of perennials and grasses that have matured into a haven for birds and insects.
Seasonal sketches of the garden will be for sale in the Garden Collection and Available Work.
Cantlop
Cantlop is the geographic centre of Shropshire. The name was first recorded in the Domesday Book as Cantelop and could have been named by Norman knights, from chante lou (sing wolf). These days it is a slightly untidy settlement of houses, converted barns and farms, and is pleasantly unremarkable, with the exception of the historic Cantlop Pump.
