Top 10 Gardening Favourites

Everyone has their own particular favourites - and we are no exception!

We list our top ten gardening favourites. You can help us to maintain this section by having a say on what you think should be included! After all, the information is for you!

The plants and things listed are simply our preference - at the time. Things and preferences change regularly in the garden - People have different perceptions of what is 'best'!

We are not saying that these are 'must-haves'. It is simply a section about the plants and gardening 'things' that we have found to be dependable over many years. There are many new varieties of plants available every year. They need time to be assessed in normal garden situations. So basically, it is a list of old favourites!

So - let us know if you feel that you have a better suggestion (or two) for any of our top ten lists.
