Organic gardening with ivydene garden

Hello,

Has anyone any experience of the ivydene garden website please?

It looks like an interesting resource, but I am finding the website layout rather confusing.  

Am I missing something?

    And all the political and utterly irrelevant moaning allover it is so unintentionally funny

    🤣🤣🤣
    What on earth led you to that site, @clematisdorset? And what on earth made you then give it the time of day? 
    It is quite funny though - I've not seen anything that bad in a long long time.

    Goodness me that mess is in a format which was out of date at the turn of the millenium. 
    There’s another site which says the Ivydene GC is permanently closed. The last review is dated 2015

    @amancalledgeorge yes and yes! I thought I was missing something, but the site just gets worse and worse the more one tries to find something. I had not even seen all the ranting to begin with. My eyes and brain just cannot deal with it!

    Yes, very out of date indeed! I think it is Kent-based, seems to be someone with RHS qualifications, but more like a personal rant/blog/garden calendar mashup!

    I think the Whitland Wales place is an unconnected, now closed garden centre, from what I can glean...my eyes hurt from trying to read anything on the Kent-based site!

    @lg , I know what you mean, 🤣 ...I came across it through an internet search for specific named shrubs and again another time when looking for companion planting as an organic way of gardening...

    ...to be fair, I did find the shrubs that I was looking for, with illustrations etc and I did find some useful info on companion planting, but only because the search engine directed me to the precise part of the website. Once in the website, it is a crazy free-for-all with no index/contents page etc as far as I can tell!
