Hi from a not so sunny Newbury.

Been looking for a gardening forum and found this site. Looks promising.
I'm the gardener on a private estate of around 200 acres on the Berkshire /Hampshire border near Newbury.
Only took the job on last October, so its a massive learning curve as well as some serious groundwork, tree surgery and forestry to do.
Just created an allotment in a neglected area and am now looking at building a composting area.
There's formal gardens here that aren't exactly formal at the moment, more like weed beds!
I'll post some photo's at some point and there will probably be plants offered in the near future as I thin specimens out.
Hopefully, I can contribute here and not just take.
Paul.

welcome to the garden we are a little daft on times but you will not find a nicer bunch of people willing to help

 

Welcome to Gardeners Corner

I used to look after 23 acres. 200, wow.

 

Hi there Paul,
I have 2 x postage stamp size plots but still love to view this site. Mad as hatters towards eventide but kind and generous with their help. Welcome to Gardeners Corner,

Thanks all, just finished major job removing Spanish bluebells from one part of the woodland, previous gardener obviously thought they were just large bluebells!
As beautiful as they are, they were overcrowding the natives.
