      I logged onto the Gardeners World forum just now and was devastated to see that it's closed! I'm sure I'm just repeating what everyone else has already said, but it really was a bit of a "refuge" from the negative side of social media and I've received so much kind help there over the years. But I'm really happy to see that at least a few members have migrated here and look forward to connecting with some of them in the future, I hope!

            Hi, I'm another of the lost souls from Gardeners World. I initially said I wouldn't come here, but here I am anyway.
            Thank you Gardeners Corner for letting me in. I'm not sure how to use the site - it makes my head hurt with the change of look.
            I'm not used to change - but basically this one has been forced upon so many of us.
            It's comforting to see some familiar names.

              You'll be fine @RowlandsCastle . Take it slowly, work your way round the many new features here and you'll soon feel at home. The admin team is exceptionally helpful should you have problems working out what goes where and how to join in.

                    :)Hi @RowlandsCastle … so pleased to see you here :) … it does look quite different but beneath the skin it works on similar principles … pretty much like human beings really :heehee:

                    We know you’ve not been well and have just been in hospital, so do feel free to ask rather than drive yourself doolally trying to work things out on your own. The admin staff here are very helpful and those of us who’ve been here a few days longer than you will try to help too if we can. :)
