Gardening in a Hungary

Gardening in our new country is very different to England, meaning we are learning to adapt to a new climate and growing conditions. This can sometimes be challenging!

About Us – Sue, Eric and Raphael

Hello and Welcome! We are English Expat’s and young retirees. Six years ago my husband, my son and I decided to take the plunge and leave cold wet England to retire abroad to beautiful, peaceful rural Hungary. Some may say a reckless impulsive decision but we have to disagree as we are very happy living this rural lifestyle. Our home is being gradually renovated, and we have a huge garden with much potential. Life is quiet and relaxing, far different from the hustle bustle of our city life in England. Take a look and see what makes us tick!
