    Thanks for the add. Made me smile to see a message from ‘GCHQ’! I live in Picardy, Northern France and I have been trying to establish an English /French garden for the last year. Haven’t got that far but really loving the garden more and more. We’ve created a wildlife pond and a vegetable garden and now moving onto borders. Looking forward to exchanges and learning from all the collected experience here!

        Welcome @FrenchBean, from a rather cloudy Belgium (hoping that the clouds will bless is with rain....).

        You will probably know when you’ve made the cross-over to “English-style” garden when the locals start to comment on it - speaking from experience!!

          We like making our members smile :) Welcome to Gardeners Corner.

          Now, whatever you do, watch out for that Fat Controller bloke - always eating all the biscuits in the office, never lets the dog out for a wee without leaving the office door wide open and letting all the heat out, and don't get me started on the amount of paperwork on his desk.

                Hello Sian I’ve already had a few neighbours saying ‘why not chop down the bushes and bamboo in the middle so you can see the whole garden “ I say that’s not very exciting!!
