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?

@Smc we are well away from the televised fires thankfully, but there is currently an 'extream' fire risk in our area so 'alert but not alarmed situation'. Where we are in town it is unlikely we wold be affected directly by bushfire. The outer lying areas like where we were have cause for concern but no fires that I am aware of... yet.
