    Hi everyone

    I am a female gardener just about to move house and leave many of my lovingly cared for plants and shrubs behind due to their maturity :( Am moving to a smallish lawned narrow garden that is going to take some creative thought to cram in my favourites - grow some produce (thank god for a patio - container gardening here we come :) and try and create a beautiful floral/wildlife haven for my retirement LOL

    I may be pestering with a few questions while progress is being made (or NOT as the case may be) - looking forward to learning and chatting to you experts :)

    I have uploaded a few pics as I do like to snap (like all women I hear the men cry :loll:)

    Love Divina xxxx
