Gardeners' Guild
Created | Updated Feb 9, 2008
Welcome to the Gardener's Guild!
You've found the club for all the green-fingered hitchhikers among us. If you have any interest in plants or gardening, we hope to provide something for you here.
You don't have to be old, honestly! :)
Our aim is simply to provide a central hub for garden-related guide entries, and also provide a discussion forum for any questions or comments .
Whether you have acres of land or an apartment balcony, or even just a few potplants dumped on a shelf in your room, feel free to jump aboard.
