    Hi, my name is Liliana. I am 56 years old. I have been gardening for quite a few years.
    But I always say, never to old to learn something new.

    I live in Thatcham, Berkshire, having been back in the Uk for 3 years, having moved to Cyprus and living there foe 12 years.

    Would like to chat with like minded people, and I am always looking out for seed swaps with others. I have a reasonable selection.

    Hope to chat with you all in the near future.

      Hi Liliana, welcome to Gardeners Corner:thumbsup::snork: I think you'll find GC is just the thing. If you get the time could you post some pics of your garden, and a description of the direction it faces, soil type, and what kind of plants and garden style appeals to you to give us all an idea of what you like??.:snork:

        :spinning: Yeah, I like it. My parents were Italian, but my mother did not go down the road of naming you after grandparents, do not know where she got the name though. My grandparents on my fathers side were farmers, so that is were the love of gardening comes from.
