Have you got or seen a plant that is growing well in our challenging conditions?


Please post pics/info/sizes/preferred conditions etc to help forumers that might like to plant one themselves. Please keep to tried and tested plants/shrubs, not a pot picked up in Lidl last week that may not survive our conditions on the island! It can be in your own garden, a neighbour or friends, or a park. Don't worry if you don't know the name - I'm sure others will help to identify them.

It would also

I've finally, after a number of false starts, been able to copy all the posts re butterflies/milkweed etc into this new thread. I've left the originals in place in the Gardening thread to maintain the continuity there. I thought it would be easier to refer to these posts in their own thread.
Please feel free to start using this thread! Thanks, Tamara 29.04.2020

I hope this is the right forum for this, I couldn't see a gardening one!
Our friend on the island has rescued donkeys (and cats and dogs!) The donkeys eat a lot and she is supplementing all this on her pension. To raise extra funds she is selling bagged up manure at 4e a bag. Great for the garden! Please contact her if you need a bag
