The Wescott Garden

🌿 Welcome to The Wescott Garden 🏡

I’m Kim, sharing my gentle gardening diary in my 60s — small garden life, seasonal gardening, peaceful garden tidy days, and slow living in a small UK garden, with my little helper Flower 🐾

🪴 Videos twice a week + daily garden shorts

For accidental retirees, over-60s gardening, beginners, and anyone seeking calm, purpose, wellbeing, and retirement hobbies through gardening.

Put the kettle on and join me for garden tidy with me days, small garden ideas UK, and quiet moments in the garden 🌼

Learning as we grow — through the seasons 🌱


The Wescott Garden

Hi friends!
From next week, you can visit Flower and me in the garden on Sundays at 3 pm (GMT). We’re temporarily moving our main garden visits to Sundays so we can all enjoy a calm weekend together. Tea is ready ☕🪴

🌸 A Huge Thank You! 🌸

I just want to take a moment to say a truly heartfelt thank you. When I first started Life in My 60s—which later became The Wescott Garden after the success of the Tiny Garden Tidy series—there were just 13 of us for months. Now, we’re close to 400 wonderful people, and we’re really building a community 💚

Wishing all the best 2026 ✨
Kim & Flower 🌷☀️

A little update 🌱
I’ve decided to start the changes a bit earlier than planned because I’m really excited to start this next chapter.

I’m looking forward to spending more time in The Wescott Garden, sharing the seasons, the little everyday moments, and time outdoors — often with my little helper, Flower, by my side — while still reflecting on life, mindset, and thriving as we grow older. That part of the journey is still close to my heart.

Thank you so much for being here and for supporting me along the way. I’m really looking forward to sharing The Wescott Garden with you, twice weekly, and enjoying these moments together ☀️🪴✨

The Wescott Garden

Hello everyone! I just wanted to pop on and say a huge thank you. Over the past 6months, you’ve been with me as I’ve explored life in my 60s — from healthy living, mindset, decluttering, and everything in between.

And through all of that, something unexpected but wonderful happened…
I realised that the videos I loved making the most — and the ones you loved watching the most — were my Tiny Garden videos.

Being out in the garden, sharing the seasons, showing the real little moments with my dog… that’s where I feel I’m truly thriving. And many of you have told me it’s your favourite part of the channel too.

So thanks to your support, I’ve found my niche.
From the New year, there will still be two videos weekly. Tuesdays & Fridays, all centred around Tiny Garden — plus seven daily garden shorts to take you with me every day.

I’ll also be gently rebranding the channel to Tiny Garden, but don’t worry — the heart of the channel is staying the same. It’s still me, still life in my 60s, still learning and growing… just a little closer to the soil.

Thank you for helping me find the place where I feel most at home. I can’t wait to bring you along with me as the garden keeps changing with the seasons.”

Hey everyone 👋

I’ve noticed how much you all love seeing my little garden buddy in her little shorts while I’m out in the garden 😂 so I thought it’d be fun to share some throwback pics of her — from when she was a tiny pup to now, fully grown and still stealing the show.

It honestly makes me so happy to see how many of you enjoy these little moments with us. Thanks so much for following along, for all the love, and for helping grow this lovely little community. It really means a lot. 💚

More dog antics & gardening joy coming your way 🌿🐶

🎥 Should I Change My Channel Name? 🤔

Hey Friends!
I’ve been thinking about making a change and I’d love your input. As many of you know, my channel has been called “Life in My 60s”, but I’m considering renaming it to “Chapter 3”.

Why “Chapter 3”? Well, it feels like a fresh new phase in life — full of growth, reflection, and new adventures. But I want to know what you think.

✅ Does “Chapter 3” speak to the journey we’re on together?
✅ Or should I keep “Life in My 60s” since it’s familiar and meaningful?

Let me know your thoughts in the comments — your feedback means so much to me!

Thank you for being here, so we can share this journey together. ☀️

☀️Coming This Tuesday: Will We Be Healthy Enough to Enjoy Retirement? 🌿

We’re living longer…
We’re retiring later…
But are we actually staying healthy enough to enjoy the years that follow?

In Tuesday’s video, I’m taking a closer look at the gap between lifespan and healthspan — and what that might mean for how we plan, live, and look ahead to retirement.

It’s a gentle invitation to reflect on how we’re ageing — not just in years, but in wellbeing.

📅 New video this Tuesday — subscribe and turn on the bell so you don’t miss it.
