My Gardening Articles

"I am writing in the garden. To write as one should of a garden one must write not outside it or merely somewhere near it, but in the garden." 
Frances Hodgson Burnett:

"All through the long winter, I dream of my garden. On the first day of spring, I dig my fingers deep into the soft earth. I can feel its energy, and my spirits soar."
Helen Hayes:

We do hope that you will like our website. We took the path of the garden because we are gardeners. Simply that. We wanted to talk to like-minded people and hopefully convert a few also. We've put together some articles covering all sorts of aspects and would like to hear from you, our fellow gardeners, about what you might like to read about.

We've even incorporated a section on Driveways, Patios and Paths where we reviewed 6 different surfaces and highlighted the Pros and Cons. We discuss surfaces like gravel, tarmac, block paving, pattern imprinted concrete, resin bonded and paving slabs. You can go straight there if you wish.

Do you have a nice garden? Have you got some nice digital photos of it (or part of it)? Send us a picture of your garden or an area within it and if we like it we'll publish it on our site and let us know if you would like your name mentioned.

Maybe something like "Mike Gardener - Haywards Heath - UK"? If we get enough photos we'll create a whole section devoted to it and if any of you have some great ideas or tips we can publicise those too.

"I have never had so many good ideas day after day as when I worked in the garden."  John Erskine:

"Let no one think that real gardening is a bucolic and meditative occupation. It is an insatiable passion, like everything else to which a man gives his heart." Karel Capek:

"Gardening is a kind of disease. It infects you, you cannot escape it. When you go visiting, your eyes rove about the garden; you interrupt the serious cocktail drinking because of an irresistible impulse to get up and pull a weed." Lewis Gannitt:

If you're intested in reading about garden design or Landscaping have a look at a sister site. There you will get some ideas and resources that may help you to lay out a new garden or improve what you already have.

The picture (right) is a snap of the first show from Mr A. Richards's pond in the UK. Thanks very much for this lovely contribution Mr Richards.....any more?


This photo (left) is sent in by a reader who claims it is his garden. He said his name is Mr Ying Tong Chia and that he originally came from China but sources tell us that in fact he runs the local Chinese take-away and is a bit of a joker. Of course we believe you Mr Chia!
