Hello, I'm Zoe, the author and illustrator behind Garden Bliss.

I have always had a love of gardening, and have been growing my own fruit and vegetables on an allotment since 2008. I love nothing better than combining my passions with illustrating flowers, food and all things gardening.

I also love to write about the joys of gardening and nature. Each post is short and sweet, so won’t take up too much of your time. I look at gardening from all different aspects and try to find the simple bliss, and I hope they will amuse or inspire you in some small way.

My posts on this site are free to view and read, but if you’d like to support me, I have some items for sale in a shop on Etsy so please consider having a look and maybe buying a little gift for yourself or a friend.

I also have a self-published little journal and planner available on Amazon, which is specifically made for people who grow their own food. It’s full of tips and advice for every month and allows you to plan your veg patch.
