A New Gardener
A New Gardener
Hello everyone from a newbie.
Until we moved to our new home in Sheringham I was a reluctant gardener, but ...
Our new garden is enormous and was like a jungle after years of amost total neglect
Over the last nine month we've been rescuing it and found loads of what I understand are hardy tropicals.
We need help in identifying what we've got and how to look after them. We're not the types who simply level the site and start again. We want to conserve as much as possible and transplant as appropriate.
Once I get the hang of posting images I'll show some of the plants so I find out about them.
Cheers,
Derek

Re: A New Gardener
Seems a good way to start, you have a bonus to begin with!
I look forward to reviewing your inheritance, I reckon you have a unique start on tropical plants there.
Welcome.

Welcome Derek, look forward to seeing pics of what's there. You've got some great gardens and nurseries nearby for inspiration too.

Hello and welcome Derek,
I can't wait to see what tropicals own you in your new garden....
Steady with that wallet...tropical gardening is extremely expensive not to mention addictive.
