    We've lived in Xirokampi for 5 years using our 'villa' as a holiday home for Spring and Autumn for walking and in the Summer for relaxing and enjoying visitors. My husband is a writer and I enjoy trying to make our garden look authentic and pleasing. I struggle every time I return to the property as the garden has once again attempted to return to the wild. I'm looking forward to meeting other gardeners and learning more about how to landscape and maintain our challenging site.

    Welcome to GC :dbgrtmb:

    I'm sure you will enjoy being a member. :biggrin:

    So you're in the village of Xirokampi near Chania. :) A very nice area to be :blue thumb:, but too hot for me.

    At first I thought you meant the village across the water in the Lakonia region (visited there in 1964).

    I've just added a tip on resizing here. After uploading your photos you can press the Full image "button" next to your uploaded photo.

    Love the Hibiscus!
