Popular Instagram gardener Tom Strowlger (aka @garden_with_tom) has begun posting videos during lockdown and will not look back. This inspirational garden writer captures the wonders of each plant and flower in his garden, and friendlyly removes the magic of nature. Find out what Tom has planned this year…
What inspires you in your garden?
My main inspiration is being outdoors and in Mother Nature. This year’s season is truly amazing, and being in the garden will give you a total acceptance of what each of them have to offer. I love spring days, hope and optimism, hot summer days, fall retreat day, and crisp cold winter days. There’s always something to do.
What is your favorite part of the garden?

I have a soft spot with colorful borders and if you follow me on Insta, you also like to keep me lush grass with well defined edges You know that is. I am creative and love to enjoy the design of new garden beds filled with flowers and shrubs. Above all, I love new projects!
What are you most proud of?

We love to see our family enjoying the plants and flowers in our garden. But I am also really proud to share my experiences in the garden with so many people. It’s great to see others taking inspiration from my content and enjoying their own green space.
What are your future plans?

My plan this year is to create new beds and boundaries filled with treasure troves of colours that span all four seasons. But in the long run, my goal is simply to continue creating an environment of joy, interest and peace.
Best Gardening Tips
For a new gardener, I recommend being brave. I always know that there are both successes and failures, depending on the flow. That’s very normal. It’s about learning when you go and just enjoying your garden.
