    Hello all
    Just joined so hoping to pick up some gardening tips.
    I am a Hellebore obsessed person though anything to do with plants is also another obsession. Now retired and still not enough time in the day.

      Hi and welcome.

      You're obviously in a similar situation to many of us.

      Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.
      I have bred hellebore hybrids for over twenty years, i must have hundreds in the garden now, they never fail to delight me with their array of colours and flower diversity,they are just starting to show their flower heads now, i think i wander round looking rather than working on the garden which is naughty but good for the soul.

          General Gardening Discussion is here - https://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forums/general-gardening-discussion.100/ but we are not overly worried where you post. If something ends up in the wrong place or you want it moved, just ask and we can move it easily :)

          You will find your way around I'm sure, but if you need help, just ask - you will find that all the members here are really good at guiding you, so please don't be shy.
