    Hey there all,

    This seems like such a friendly place! I feel like i'm about to find out all i need in order to set up a gorgeous garden!

    I live with my partner in a flat in Exeter, Devon and in a few weeks time we move again, into a flat with a small garden! I'm really excited, but desperate to do it all right so i achieve a gorgeous, healthy garden.

    I look forward to being mentored by you all!

    Thank you! I feel really at home already! I've been to a couple of other forums, and i've not felt comfortable. I've just felt like i'm apologizing for being new to it!

    But here is a different story! So many lovely images too!

    Hi again Whiley, I like Bernaville Nursery - do you know it? On the Crediton Road about 2 miles out of Exeter. Also Trago Mills, Newton Abbot have some great plants at the moment and very reasonably priced. We are lucky to have quite a few local garden centres who I'm sure would all be helpful with advice if you asked.

    I've never been to Bernaville! My sister used to work in the Cafe at Otter Nurseries so I'm most familiar there, but that was before the 'must-buy-pots-and-flowers-and-know-everything-about-them' part of my life! :D

    Will see if i can organise a garden centre tour between Sidmouth [where ma lives] and Exeter later this week! Darn me and my carlessness!
