Afternoon from South Coast!

Hi everyone! I'm Sarah, from Waterlooville near Portsmouth. I am very much a novice in the gardening world but spent a lot of my childhood with my Nan in her garden. I have been in my own home for nearly two years now and lucky enough to have a large garden, but unfortunately it's not the best.

When I got my house the previous owner, who was very elderly, wasn't able to maintain her garden and got very overgrown with brambles, weeds, etc. I spent a few months, around work and education, hacking everything back and got to see the potential my garden has. Amongst some of the weeds I haven't yet got rid of I have quite a few fuscia bushes, rose bush and butterfly bush?

So no doubt with my lack of knowledge and eargerness to get this garden looking great you'll all be seeing a lot of me :D

I have attached this photo of my back garden not long after we moved in.



This photo was my back garden after spending 3 solid days hacking away overgrown bambles and Ivy.


And this is part of my front garden, it does go down the side of the house to join the back garden. It's in desperate need of some colour!


I look forward to posting and reading lots of your threads and hopefully learn a lot and help my garden to be it's best!
