Blog Love Sunday

Drum roll please for….

Greg, of The Midnight Garden

Hosted by the charming and archly witty Greg, this blog is ostensibly about gardening but we get enough glimpses of the writer for it to feel like so much more. Daily picture posts of flowers, the nearby ocean and other incidental detail as the author goes about his day become meditations on ephemoral beauty and the importance of noticing these small things. Greg is untiringly creative – from gardening to photography to writing, to picking up a paintbrush and painting a mural in his house, and these activities he shares with us so that we want to join in too. If I ever feel stale I know where to find the antidote; it’s in the Midnight Garden.

    I love Greg’s blog!

    I am gutted I never got a chance to meet him on my trip.

    @Claire:- It’s a good read isn’t it? Maybe you need to visit America again to catch up on Greg!

    Hello, there! Sorry to have been so long away…finding a new host for the Midnight Garden, as well as continuing the painting/unpacking/living and so on! Thanks, Bird, for this lovely tribute–it’s thanks to visitors like you and Claire and so many others that I’m encouraged to bigger and better things all the time!

    Yes, naturally, the same week you posted this was the week I changed the URL. Sorry about that!

    Hey Greg, I just changed up the link so it points to your new home! My bad timing x2 considering I went awol from my own blog (as I often do) and didn’t get this done till now :)
