    Hi everyone

    Wow!!! So much information and topics being discussed here, it's fab!!!

    I am a total novice to gardening, but am so looking forward to hopefully start transforming a section of my back garden this year.

    I live in the north of Scotland and my garden is North facing and currently all laid in grass. I hope to make a couple of new borders and I would love to leave my grass to go 'wild'. My aim is to make the space I have as inviting to birds, bees and butterflies as possible.

    Anyway thanks for having me and I look forward to asking lots of questions and getting lots of invaluable advice here.

    Pink Nessie

      I've made a thread about wilding the garden. It's called wild your garden with Noel Ashton.

                    It would be helpful to us if you could place your area (county will do) in your avatar box please. It allows our friends here to answer questions according to your climate. :)
