    ....here at Le Manoir de Gurson in the Dordogne region of France we are trying to create an orchard/organic garden from some of the forgotten yesteryear trees and vegetables. We want to initially set aside 4 acres of land for this (commercial link removed by admin) and would like all the assistance we can get. I am not an expert gardener but love the land and am passionate about it. Thank you. I look forward to reading many bits and pieces on these forums.

    Hi, and thank you. There are pics on (link removed by admin) and to be honest I have not planned any particular tree. I try to preserve the integrity of our land as much as possible and would never profit from quad bikes or paintball etc. I want it to be a haven shared and appreciated by many. The project is not for profit, indeed if it became a producer of good food then a worthy cause will benefit from it.

        Welcome to Gardeners Corner :sign0016:

        No commercial links please, unless you'd like to pay for it:)

        Pictures will be fine though.

          OOOP's! Many apologies. Unintentional plug, just trying to draw attention to the competition. A newbie learning as I go. :new:

              I've certainly found it very useful since I joined :) I'm not the best gardener :)

                  Welcome to Gardeners Corner!!:thumbsup::snork: The project sounds like it's going to be of great interest and I'm sure the gang will want to be kept up to date. I see Ziggy has given you some guidance on how to post without breaching the rules and we'll all help where we can.
