Gardening tips and advice for the keen gardener
Welcome to Help with Gardening
Gardening is one of the most satisfying hobbies that one can undertake. It is relaxing and can even be therapeutic and it need not be very expensive.
There are many aspects to gardening which can involve anything from the simplest of tasks such as growing your own herbs to complex projects such as laying a lawn, building a rockery or propagating your own plants.
There is always work to be done in the garden, at all times of year, and in all kinds of weather, yet the rewards reaped from sowing seeds, tending to the soil, caring for your plants and watching them grow into healthy and beautiful specimens, are well worth the effort.
