Hello all
Hello all
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!

Re: Hello all
Hello Joe, a warm welcome to you . You are amongst like minded people on here, you will learn and also contribute as you have lots of experience. Would love to see some pictures when you have time, enjoy the forum
Re: Hello all
Thanks for the welcomes.
Only got a few piccies online so those will do for the moment, all taken August 2011.
I've been quite heavily influenced by the Exotic Garden at Great Dixter which is quite near me.

Re: Hello all
Oh lovely Joe, i feel all warm now, the sun shining on the leaves in 2nd picture makes me long for summer
Re: Hello all
Jungley was the plan, glad it turned out well given my inexperience with such plants. Does rather make me long for the summer!

Re: Hello all
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. Sorry, probably my warped mind and also the way you worded it, but i had visions of a guy wandering around his garden naked!!
Re: Hello all
Haha that would raise a few eyebrows! Would be fine till I backed into a yucca...
