    We did a mail shot of all these magazines, national and local newspapers. Can you all keep a look out to see if we made it into the press? If you find a piece, can you scan it and post it for us so we can make an archive? Many thanks.

    Would be nice to get some feedback but perhaps GC members are too busy in their gardens or spend too much time on their computers to have time to read magazines or newspapers! [​IMG]

    An inclusion into the above newspapers/mags etc.

    Obviously we don't get every issue of the above, so we are just asking people to keep an eye out in their local paper (if it appears above).

    If it doesn't appear above, could you let us know your local paper. [​IMG]

    Thanks

    Nathan.

    I should imagine they are looking for just a mention, perhaps in the news section of a gardening mag or the gardening section of a paper.

    Hi Nathan and daisy-michaelmas, I don't get the Western Morning News, and I'm not sure if it has a gardening bit, but our weekly local, The Cornish Guardian, has a gardening section - may be worth a go?

    (Doh! - would help, wouldn't it?)

    Here's the piece I sent them all.

    "Keen gardener, amateur gardener, newbie, just got a pot on your windowsill? This forum is a great experience for gardeners of all types, sorts and experience, for information, advice or just to share gardening experiences. A lively forum with over 3,000 members an d growing.

    Speciality topics include
    Beginners gardening; advice on construction, planting and looking after plants
    Edible gardening; all about veggies production and care, when to plant and how to combat those inevitable bugs and diseases
    Trees have some special problems - are they too close to the house, when should they be pruned, should they be pruned?
    Container gardening; growing anything and everything in pots and tubs
    Water gardening; look after your pond, aquatic plants, fish
    Roses; always seem to be in a class of their own, special needs section!
    Garden projects; such as makeovers, decking, landscaping, outbuildings, you name it!
    Tools and equipment; speaks for itself
    Garden clubs and societies; where they are and how good are they?
    Gardens to visit; great list of great gardens.
    Identification of plants, bugs and weeds; absolutely essential in any gardening forum!

    And on top of all that there are areas to discuss pets, wildlife, computer questions, ââ?¬Ë?for salesââ?¬â?¢ and exchanges and not forgetting the inevitable games and nonsense areas!

    There�s even a monthly photographic competition and a place where you can share photos of your garden�s progress. Members get lots of ideas seeing other people�s efforts, successes (and disasters!) and there�s always plenty of advice to be had from the more seasoned growers! It�s a regular cornucopia of gardening experience and not to be missed.

    Web site address is@ www.gardenerscorner.co.uk "

    And this is the flyer I sent to them all though I couldn't get it big enough to be read
