A Lifelong Love for Gardening
Roses and Radishes may be a new business, but my gardening journey began 25 years ago when my husband and I moved into our first home together. The small garden that came with it needed care, and as I learned how to maintain it, I quickly discovered a deep passion for horticulture. This love for plants soon led me to start a garden maintenance business, which I successfully ran for eight years—first in London and later in Cheltenham.
Gardening as a Source of Strength
Gardening is more than just a profession for me—it’s where I feel truly content. Though I’ve had office-based jobs in the past, I’ve always been happiest when working outdoors, surrounded by nature. In recent years, I’ve faced significant personal challenges, including the unexpected loss of my mother, which contributed to a chronic pain condition brought on by stress. During this difficult time, even the simplest, low-impact gardening tasks became an essential part of my healing process, offering comfort and a way to reconnect with myself.
