Like Nollie, I won't be around here much now, so see you on Houzz, those who've migrated.. it's not for everyone, and I expect some will drift away, but we shall give it a go. Our season hasn't really started yet, so it'll take a while to settle in.
To those on Gardener's Corner, you might occasionally see me pop up there, I've posted about 6 times in 10 years, but I'm not under this name and I can't be bothered to change it, so if you see a 'Mrs Hillard', you might remember that's me..
I've always been a bit peeved that 'Roses' is regarded as a 'specialist gardening discussion', at the bottom below container, edibles and water gardening.. Indeed, really specialist planting a rose, I suppose ..
I’ve only posted a few times but I’ve dipped in and out and gleaned lots of
excellent information. Have appreciated all your photos – it’s so helpful seeing
plants in real people’s gardens.
Together you have all created and shared such an
amazing and generous resource, as well as your time and knowledge. What a waste that ‘IM’ do not realise how
invaluable the forum is, and their announcement (written by ChatBot?) giving
you such short notice.
…
I thought you might like to check out this site - https://www.petforums.co.uk/ (Yes,
pets! I used to visit the cat health/nutrition
section for advice, many years ago).
I see some have already decided to go to ‘Gardeners Corner’ and the roses have branched
off to ‘Houzz’ and you seem to have set
up and settled in well. So this is incase you need a back-up.
It’s not very active but the site is similar to GW re:
pages and photo layout, rather than the one-page endless scroll at Houzz and
having to click to enlarge photos, I think you can also set up separate picture
galleries/albums; admin/moderators; a decent ‘search’ tool; open to overseas members;
usual things like ‘clicking on a thread will automatically take you to most
recent unread post’ etc.
If you register you can have a better look around the
site. It was better before, more user friendly, but they then upgraded it.
All the best,
pippip
p.s. Thanks also to @philippasmith2 for
the complimentary Zoo tickets.
p.s. Was someone after contacting admin/mods on here –
but said their links/tags had disappeared?

So sorry to see that the forum is closing.

PF also has a gardening advice forum https://www.petforums.co.uk/forums/gardening-advice.104/ (not sure my links are working).
