Hi, I am a keen gardener and am currently studying for a National Diploma in Horticulture at Myerscough College. I would like to do a lot more with my garden although as I live with my parents, who are very protective of their garden, I am largely constrained as to what I can do so a large part of what I do and wish to do is restricted to containers. I have been searching for an allotment plot for a while now and I have recently come across one which should keep me busy for a while, I am willing to learn and appreciate any help and advice given to me.

Trust me I would, but I need to do some serious work on it before its up to standard as it is currently like a marshland!

 

Hi and welcome to the forum Cairnsypne.

You can grow lots of things in a container - 16 feet Echiums, Egyptian papyrus etc especially if you can protect them over the winter.

You can also grow things in other people's gardens. Ellen Willmot, a well known lady gardener, was famed for secretly scattering seeds of Eryngium giganteum in other people's gardens. E. giganteum is now known as Miss Wilmott's ghost. :hehe:

 

Welcome to GC and all the best with your National Diploma.
Enjoy your stay.

Hello there and Welcome,

 

Thanks, I've actually been in your part of the world today looking at a degree course at Askham Bryan College and I was very impressed. I would get a plot there which would be a far more realistic solution that the plot I have proposed to take on!

 

Welcome to GC Alex and good luck with your Diploma.
