  • Bought my copy of GW mag this morning with the giant sunflower seeds. Oooo! I'm all excited!! I'm off to sow them :)
  • I grew an average display of sunflowers
    in my garden my neighbour started screaming about the bees. To keep her quiet I cut them down, I then grew Shrubs inc Blackthorn Holly Dogrose all
    that you might see in a hedgerow.
    She is still screaming.
  • want to visit a garden shown on lasts years show cant remenber name just know a head gardener and wife brought acre size plot and dug it out creating ponds and valleys and a mexican theme garden area. doe any one know anything about this or the name?
  • I have tried to access the 2 for 1 offer for the Eden project by going to edenproject.com/gwoffer but the link does not work - can you help?
  • Taking on the challange on behalf of my inlaws. In their honour, l will do my best!! However, with my little experience. and experimental nature, I am going to try something new. Planting it in secret space, which doesn't suffer from an abundance of light. Where l hope this plant will be encouraged to reach for the sun. If this works then said flower will bob about, above the height of the house and below our feet on the walk way above. Dare say this method will not work. Especially as it will probably suffer some neglect, and not recieve as much T.L.C and commitment that seems to be required.
