Hi, my name is Emma Reed and I run the Green Nest Living Blog, a brand new website designed to bring together an abundance of home and garden ideas. I have been a blogger now for around 10 years over at www.emmareed.net which covers many lifestyle topics including parenting, travel, days out and eco living but I have now decided to create a space where I can showcase and share my love of all things related to the home.

The Idea Behind The Name

I chose Green Nest Living because I have a passion for living as green as I possibly can (in a modern world) and I feel as though I am constantly feathering our nest to make it truly reflect our family and to also make it work for us.

A Little About Our Home

I have been a homeowner now for 15 years and we have literally just moved from our new build home, with a tiny garden on a busy estate into the complete opposite – An Edwardian house with a huge garden at the end of an unadopted lane. Hence why blogs have been lacking a little these last couple of months. When people tell you that house moving is stressful, they aren’t lying!

And now we need to make our new house our home. This is going to take time; especially going from a garden like this:

To this (and more, so much more):

Inside has already been nicely renovated by the previous owners but the garden has been left to its own devices for way too long so there is a lot to tackle and bring back to life. It is buzzing with wildlife so I am eager to improve on this even further and bring my eco-friendly expertise into the mix.

I will share all I can on here along with other tips for making your own home a little greener.
