    Hi all,

    My name is Dave Mckenna and I'm new to this group. This site is really good, you all make some interesting comments and I thought I should register too.

    My garden is called 'Little Indonesia' www.littleindonesia.wordpress.com and has just been featured on the last weeks BBC 2 Gardner's World Program - please come and visit! It's a garden that's been inspired by my travels in Asia

    Keep up the good work with this site

    Hi Dave.

    Welcome to G.C!

    I saw that feature and was very impressed with the work you'd done. (in fact I watched it twice)

    Hello Dave and welcome to GC.

    Thank you so much for showing us around Little Indonesia ... absolutely delightful and beautiful .... I have many, many windchimes .... so soothing and relaxing. You should get along well with Banana Man who has similar tastes.

    JWK .... Dave is our second TV celeb ... our first is the lovely chengjing ... one of the finalists in last year's Gardener of the Year on the Beeb.:) I so admire them both for going on .... no, having the talent to get on National TV. :thumb:

    Hi Dave - just watched the GW segment on YouTube... you've a great garden but it looks like so much hard work bringing stuff back in for the winter!

    Welcome to GC - great to see someone who obviously is so passionate and cheerful about gardening!
