Hi all
I'm new here and would definitely describe myself as a novice gardener. Having bought this house last year I suddenly have an urge for a beautiful garden teaming with life. I look forward to your advice

Hi there @Andrea Youll and a very warm

 

@Upsydaisy hi and thank you very much

 

You're most welcome.
Once hooked that's it Andrea ....there is no escape!! What better hobby to have , l just looooove it!! Ask absolutely anything and remember ..no question is too silly!.

Ps..it woukd be helpful if you add your location ( just the area...or even country) it will make answering any of your questions easier.

 

@Upsydaisy I totally agree. I did nothing when I moved in last year and was pleasantly surprised at all the lovely things coming up.
I got 6 baby fruit trees for Christmas last year and that was it, I was hooked! I lost one tree but somehow gained two more to replace it! Since then, I find myself planting whatever I can and checking on them all the time.
I live in County Durham, North East

 

My babies doing well ☺

 

Whoa...you're definitely a gonna!! Welcome to the green fingers club. I love this time of year as I sit surrounded by pkts of seeds and a note book planning for next year.

Hi everyone, i've been searching the net for tropical plants/trees for our soon to be new garden, in N, Lincs, I then searched forums for where best to buy mature tropical plants and trees but didn't have much luck, then i stumbled upon this forum.

My partner and i are moving house.We would like to create a tropical style jungle theme in our back garden.

I'm a novice gardener, our current garden is split level and the length of a football pitch. It has way too many plants, shrubs and trees, but the neighbours have neglected their gardens and the upkeep has become too much.

The new garden is flat and approx 7 or 8m x 40m in 3 sections, patio, gravel for seating and lawn leading to a large shed at the end of the garden (There is another in better condition) this will be coming down and a bar will replace this. The idea is to create a jungle walkway to the bar, a pergola in the middle section and whisky barrels and hanging basket's on the patio. Some plants/trees will be going into the ground permanently some brought in over the coldest spells.

 

Hello there @Tye and a very warm


The plans for your new garden sound very interesting indeed, can't wait for some pics later!

Welcome to the forum @Tye !

Sounds like a lovely plan. I am not one of the many on here who grow tropical plants. And I'm guessing that will be obvious because of my location. Everything would have to come inside between November and May!

I don't know where the N. Lincs is but anywhere over there, you're bound to have great success with your plans
