Hello all

Post by Zephyr »

Hi, my names Joe. I live and work in the Wadhurst area of East Sussex and have been working as a full time gardener for nearly 5 years and for the last year or so I have been gardening 'exotically'.

I'm incredibly lucky enough to have a large piece of garden at work that I am allowed to go mad with and have created a jungley/lush garden.Its still a young garden, last year was its first full season and I learnt a lot from it, hoping to work on what I learnt and get it better this year.

The recent warmer weather and the opportunity to get out into the garden has inspired me to get online and communicate with others doing the same thing as me, so hello!

I've been quite heavily influenced by the Exotic Garden at Great Dixter which is quite near me.

Jungley was the plan, glad it turned out well given my inexperience with such plants. Does rather make me long for the summer!

Welcome to the mad house Zephyr. Great looking garden there. And a relief to see those pics. When you said `for the last year or so I have been gardening 'exotically'. i did wonder if you meant something else. :lol: Sorry, probably my warped mind and also the way you worded it, but i had visions of a guy wandering around his garden naked!!
