Information and  Wisdom for Gardeners.

After 10 years of ‘Gardeners Tips’ I now plan a change in emphasis to better reflect the personal experience gained over the last 50 years.

There already exists over 2000 posts & pages of tips and hints on plants and gardening ( you can use the google custom  search box top right). All the information is based on the author’s experience, teaching gardening and particularly growing the plants in an urban gardens latterly in the North of England. Additional material includes photographs and posts from the author’s son based in Oxford where he spent sometime working in college gardens. My library of 500+ gardening  and horticulture books supports some of the comments, methods and tips recommended.

Errors and omissions are the fault of the author, or the weather, or the soil, or the lack of a better excuse.
