    I am a brand new gardener! virgin if you like i have a medium sized garden in my new house but it is a complete blank canvass. I am hoping to gain loads of knowledge about where / who to buy from and what to plant!

    Thanks.

    Hi Steve, welcome to GC. May I be the first to offer you advice? Plant what you like. Then just ask advice on how to keep it healthy. Ask where to buy it from by all means but it works great that way.

    Hi Steve welcome to the forum.
    You're a lucky devil although it might not seem so at the moment having a blank canvas to go at.

    I would suggest you look round at images of other people's gardens and find some that appeals to you most and then ask what plants would work well in your choosen theme, after all we are indeed a very friendly lot.Hel.xxx.
