The blind leading the blind?

She may be 92 and blind but she’s a planter’s dream. Having moved to a new area, with talk of finding the ‘movers & shakers’ and the ‘gatekeepers’ ringing in our ears we’ve already found that it’s the ‘wall-sitter’ who may hold the ‘key’.

As we enjoy the pleasant sun with Queenie on the wall and listen to her stories we also meet her friends – and she’s got quite a few! Every conversation, however brief, serves as an informal introduction to the community.

In the kingdom of the plant the blind woman is Queen(ie).
