Just posting a quick intro message to say 'Hello' and to thank the forum for allowing me to join.
I live in Manchester and have an allotment with a couple of greenhouses, a number of raised beds, fruit trees and a few hens. For years I was only really interested in growing for food but have now been getting more interested in gardening in general. I moved house a week before last Christmas and the property came with a fair sized, South facing back garden that is pretty much a blank canvas. I have started to landscape the garden and have a few perennial borders taking shape. It will be this new gardening venture that will be where I will be needing most advice as I am a complete novice with trees, shrubs and flowers. Hopefully I will be able to pass on bits of allotment advice to fellow members at the same time.

Lots of keen gardeners here who love their ornamental gardens just as much as their veg
