    Been looking for a forum which is lively and wide ranging , l hope I’ve found it !

    lve got a large garden ( ornamental) and a large allotment ( definitely not ornamental).

    l work in the garden centre retail trade and have done for over 30 years , both in shop and plant sales.

    lve seen a lot of changes , not all good , but it’s still a great industry to work in .

    lm a passionate gardener and although lve been around a bit I still have a lot to learn .

    My garden is organic and allotment is organic no dig , and it’s great fun !!.

    Looking forward to some interesting and fun postings

                      Welcome :dbgrtmb:

                      Our members have a vast range of different types of gardens and different ways of gardening. There are many non gardening topics but, in general, things on the forum tend to slow down somewhat during the winter months

                      A lot of members are already planning their next year's gardening. :)
