We all need gardening friends - for swapping seeds, visiting gardens, going on plant-buying orgies, or just to sit and dream with.

Annie and Suze met at the garden centre when Annie tripped over Suze, busy inspecting pots of perennials for the dreaded New Zealand flatworm.

You've met us, now we want to meet you!

Thanks for all your letters, here's just a few...

Dear Annie and Suze, We came upon your site while looking for climbing plants, and have enjoyed looking around. We have just finished a six foot trellis round our garden, to get a sheltered spot. Here in the Outer Hebrides, we are a bit restricted in what can be grown, but we are hoping to transplant some honeysuckle, virginia creeper and the ubiquitous ivy which will probably strangle everything else. We also have some small trees (small only because of the weather - there is a twenty year old oak tree which is barely three feet tall) which we are going to move into our new space. A raised garden in the middle, a rockery around the border and gravel paths will, we hope, complete our haven of peace - but I think we might have trouble in the autumn with midgies keeping out of the breeze. Hope to be visiting your site again. Regards

Sheila Ferguson, Outer Hebrides

 

Dear Annie and Suze, Discovered your website just before Christmas and had the idea of sending your border designs gifts. I must confess I was rather pleased with this as not only were they unusual presents but it also meant I could Christmas shop from the comfort of my armchair. The reaction has been brilliant and everyone is thrilled with their border packs. (I also gave everyone garden centre gift vouchers to start their designs off so next spring our family will all be busy reconstructing their gardens). Thanks for the inspiration. PS Love the site!

I have just discovered your site thanks to a magazine article & what a God send it has turned out to be!!! As a virgin gardener I now have somewhere to go when I'm stuck for ideas & tips ...... a gardening calender on the site would be extremely useful!!!! Kind Regards,

Emma Price-Roberts

 


I've just settled down with a coffee and some slimfast digestives for a girly chat - your diary is just the job. What's happened to Rod the Prod, and where is Suzie's husband? I want all the goss! The garden is dreary, I desperately need some inspiration and colour to cheer me up here! Thank you for your gorgeous web site, it's so beautiful in the midst of this wet, wet winter.
