    Hey Guys,

    Just wanted to introduce myself! I'm new to gardening/landscaping and i'm looking forward to building my knowledge up.

    The project I will need some help on is my front garden!

    Thanks!!

    Hi TG, welcome to Gardeners Corner:thumbsup::snork: We've got all sorts of gardens and gardeners here, from those with just balconies to those with over an acre and from the outright beginner to the experienced and the Specialists. So I don't think you'll go without good advice on whatever you need to ask.:snork:

    Hello and :sign0016: to GC Forums.

    Those with experience will be wanting to know:-
    ~ what size is your front garden
    ~ what aspect? (North facing, South facing etc)
    ~ what type soil
    ~ style of garden do you prefer (courtyard, country etc)
    ~ how do you get tea stains out of your mug

    If you post pictures it is always very helpful :)

      I'm actually really excited to get this project underway. I will take some pictures of the front of my house and post it. Is it ok to post it here in the introductions?

      You could post the pics here, TG, if you wanted to, but the Thread on the subject will probably extend quite a bit because of the questions and answers:snork: so it might be better to post them as a new Thread in the Garden Projects Forum.

      hey guys, thanks for the warm welcome. Here is the front garden! My original plan is to pave all of it (approx 100sq/m), make it a little more private by putting some trees/bushes on the front and sides with a lantern near the door. But having looked around the forum, you guys could help me acheive what I need!
