A SOS to any green thumbs out there
I have always found gardening to be therapeutic and it has given me great joy. However, after a major crisis with Mr Darcy's health I have not had been able to get back into it. Have other gardeners suffered from a similar hiatus and how have you recovered and got going again?

PS have a spot that needs filling any recommendations for a 1m high cool climate white flower plant?

One of my dreams is a "garden room" and I think I could find a space for one of these in there.

Finished tidying a row of irises, Mr Darcy did some mowing and helped with tidying up of weed piles. He is so keen to be helpful but there is no attention to detail and every now and then the "rustic look" gets me down.
