    I’m very happy to have found this website dedicated to all parts of the gardening community. I myself have been an active, passionate gardener since the mid 90s, it’s kept me sane in a lot of ways My passion is in hardy subtropical gardening, cacti and bromeliads, and everything else. I’m a Canadian whose been living in Germany for the last 30+ years. My climate is warm in summer up to about 35c, and wet sunless cold winters down to usually -7 to -9c for a brief time. I’m sure I’ll enjoy my off hours here!

      Welcome Tropical5.jpeg Andrew and pleased you've found us. There are many threads you will find of interest and lots of knowledge.

      Where in Germany are you? My Sister lived in Oldenburg for about 48 years.

      Hello Victoria, I live in the small town of Herzogenrath, which is a part of the city of Aachen. Aachen is in the very western tip of mid Germany, west of Cologne.

                        Thanks all for your welcoming. @michael, I’d gladly show off my collections:ccheers:, just need a bit of time. Best probably in an album I’d assume?

                          Just added some pictures to an album, but haven’t figured out yet how to delete the ones which aren’t wanted…

                            Hello Andrew
                            I have looked at your photos but have never used the Album feature so don't know how to manage it. Hopefully someone will come along that can help.
