About Emily
Hi, I'm Emily. Welcome to my little corner of garden inspiration
I'm a garden lover, coffee-in-hand dreamer and the heart behind The Garden Fix. This didn't start as a blog. It started with a backyard I almost gave up on.

A few years ago, my backyard looked nothing like the dreamy spaces you see on Pinterest. It was messy, empty and, honestly, a little depressing. Life was busy, and somewhere along the way I stopped making time for the little things that made me happy.
One evening, scrolling through Pinterest (probably just like you are now), I saw a simple garden transformation: fairy lights, a small seating area, a few plants. Nothing fancy. But something clicked. I thought, "What if I could create something like this, just for me?"
I didn't have a big budget and I didn't have professional skills. I started anyway, one small change at a time: a few plants, a cosy chair, some warm lights. Slowly, that forgotten space became my favourite place in the world. A place to breathe, to relax and to feel like myself again.
Why I created this blog
I created this space for people who love scrolling Pinterest for inspiration, who dream of a beautiful garden but don't know where to start, and who want something cosy, magical and real, not perfect.
Easy ideas you can try in a weekend, with plants and materials that cope with British weather.
Before-and-after style inspiration for patios, front gardens, conservatories and more.
Clever ways to make the most of a tiny garden, balcony or doorstep.
Little details that make a big difference without a big spend.
How The Garden Fix works
Every article is written to be practical for gardens in the UK: our rain, our wind and our small plots. I pick topics based on the seasons and on what readers are searching and saving, then turn them into simple, step-by-step style lists you can scan quickly.
A note on images: the images on this site, including the photos of me, are AI-generated visuals created to illustrate ideas. They are inspiration, not photographs of real projects, so your own results will vary. Please read our disclaimer and our advertising and affiliate disclosure to see how the site is funded.
