    I came across your group whilst searching for planting advice and it seems a good one. Although the word 'gardener' appears in my job title that isn't quite true! Being in the outdoors is something I love though. On the South Downs we rather lack for trees and it was very satisfying a couple of years ago to plant a native hedgerow at the residential centre where I work with plugs donated by the Woodland Trust; it's doing well. I live on an urban hilltop where until 100 years ago a windmill stood. Chalky and of course windy! Nice views though.

      Welcome to the forum! You'd be amazed at the vsriety of soil conditions this group deals with. Hope you brought along your sense of humour because we are serious whilst offering gardening advice but are also light hearted with our camraderie :)
