    Hi! *waves* I'm Selina, I'm 26 and I live in Chippenham in Wiltshire.

    My passion for gardening comes from my father, he passed away almost 5 years ago now and the responsibility for the family garden fell to me. I've battled with it for the past 4 years (I have NO idea how my dad organised things!) and this year I've decided to get strict with myself and have drawn a design, incorporating raised beds, a pond and perhaps laying a path. I want to be able to do something that I hope my dad would be proud of me for, I feel like I've failed the last few years and am worried that he'd think he hadn't taught me anything! Maybe I'll try and post pics of how I get on and keep you updated - that will keep me determined aswell in case I start to lose focus or if things get too difficult! :heehee:

    This weekend will mark the start of the new project! I'll just be clearing the beds that we have at the moment and if I get time, I'll do a bit of pruning and tidying of the hedges, shrubs and trees (it's not too late is it?!) That question is exactly the reason I joined the forum, I was hoping that fellow gardeners may help me if I get stuck haha!

    Sorry for a bit of a long post! Take Care everyone and Happy Gardening! Selina xx :)
