With over 20 million gardens in the UK it comes as no surprise that gardening is the country’s top hobby. You only have to look at the ever expanding quantity and sizes of garden centres to realize that gardening is still on the up. Even the government now appreciate the value of gardening in a happy and healthy society and they have a campaign to encourage us all at
Greener Gardens. Governments are not noted for persuading their subjects to do enjoyable things so this is one to really savour!
One of the great joys of gardening is the huge choice available. You might have a small patio that you use as an "Outdoor room" or you might have a large area in which you grow your own fruit and vegetables. You might have only a couple of window-boxes or you might be one of the expanding army of allotment holders. Whatever your aims and objectives your garden is yours to do with as you please, it will be totally unique and that is probably what makes it so fascinating for so many millions of people.
To get the most enjoyment from your hobby you need to make decisions about which types of plant to grow (annuals, biennials or perennials, tender or hardy) and which varieties are best suited to your conditions. Along the way you also need to accumulate a little knowledge about the pests, diseases and weeds that will challenge you in your great adventure. Our quizzes will help build your knowledge in a fun way. Enjoy!
