I am an amateur gardener, with just enough space to begin to get really creative and make something beautiful for myself and my neighbours to enjoy.
It would be wonderful to have access to a forum where I could meet fellow gardeners and benefit from their experience and ask the long-term or professional gardeners for their advice when I run into trouble or when I'm not quite sure what to do with certain areas of my garden space.
I would love to swap stories, from my first attempts at growing flowers in containers to more ambitious projects, and read others' stories for inspiration, tips, tricks, and ways to pass the rainy days when I can't get outside to do anything myself.
I want a warm and friendly community to put my roots down in, that will support me in my endeavors and a website that is full of information that I can utilise to make my garden perfect.
Even in my small space, I want to become a world-class gardener and be the envy of my neighbourhood! I want to learn as much as I can about how to keep my plants healthy, pest-free, properly fertilised, and in top shape from year to year.
I need advice on companion planting, and other ways to easily discourage problems in my garden, and information on how to test the soil to find out what sort of fertilisers I need for the plants I want to grow, and I want to learn these things among others who are working toward the same goals.
I value advice from other people just like me because I know they've gone through their own troubles trying to get things sorted in their gardens, and I know they'll understand my frustrations if I need to vent! I want an informational community that also helps me find many gardening friends so I can share my passion for plants with others.
When I gain more experience, I want to be able to return the favor, and help newcomers with their questions and keep the flow and warmth of the community growing, so that it will continue to be a place that anyone can come and be welcome.
I also need impartial reviews of popular gardening products so I know how to get the most for my money and what will work best in my specific situation so I don't end up buying the wrong thing.
I need a one-stop place on the web to find everything I need for my garden: knowledge, friends, and advice.
I want a community forum and an information base so that I can keep building the very best garden I can.
