I have thought of this too! or any gardening programme that could change my jungle come play area into something that looks half decent,there must be some part of this site to apply to,don`t you think?
i have a half acre site in county kerry southern ireland that i had a bungalow built on 2 years ago,the remaining garden? is too much to tackle,i have an area that rises up thats a soak away for the bio unit,a trampoline,playhouse,swings,tp frame all for my 6 year old triplets,a decking area for my 89 year old dad,fenced off area for the 2 dogs,but no where for me,just jungle in between every thing else oh and this enormous mould straight in front of my kitchen window that was put there by the builders to deal with the bio unit,and thats covered in weeds and long grass,as i`m allergic to grass its getting longer and as i type my eyes are streaming,i love plants,herbs etc and dh has put a lean to at the back for me to sow seeds its just that theres nowhere too put them now that their growing,if theres someone out there that knows how to apply to the shows please tell us how

My mothers garden is in an absolute state, for the past ten years my father was extremely poorly and for about 2 years up untill my father died in february my mother was his carer. As you can imagine some things had to be left to one side including the garden! unfortunately the garden cannot now be used as it is so over grown and it is far too much work for a couple of people, it grows as quick as u try to tidy it up! Cry i love my mother dearly and just wish we could get more people to help if any one has any suggestions plz let me know!

Please please help us! Our garden is a lovely size and has great potential, but we have no idea where to start or how we will manage to have the time to do it... we have a beautiful 10 week old baby girl and have spent the past year decorating our house in preperation for our bundle of joy to arrive. We now keep the blinds closed from our newly decorated lounge as we cannot bear to even think about how the 'jungle' outside will get sorted. I really don't want baby Isla kept indoors with nowhere to play safely outside in the summer and my Husband has worked so incredibly hard juggling a full time job, adapting to family life and getting the house (nearly) finished, i really want to take the worry off him too. Please, please help us!!! xxx Smile

Would like the same question answered - how can I be considered for assistance with my garden. My son and I moved in here 18 months ago and our garden is a very good size, which considering we have never had a garden before is a very daunting prospect. I am a working single mother who needs a low maintenance garden as I dont have much time to either work in or enjoy my garden. My son has started to dig a hole for a fish pond but everytime it rains (when has it stopped this year) it fills up and nothing can be done to it for a while, we also have some fruit trees which have not produced fruit this year and a couple of other trees which keep the light out. There is a large area which appears to be stone and rubble which has probably been there for years and I just dont know where to start or what is the best thing to do as have no gardening experience. If anyone has any constructive comments, I am always pleased to hear them alternatively HELP ME I HAVE A GARDEN SOS!!! Confused
