I genuinely hate spiders, can't be doing with them they frighten the
hell out of me. So, now I've got this lovely garden I want to do
things with but I was recently poking around in a camelia bush looking
at it's base when one rather large and nasty one landed on my hand and
it's really put me off poking around again.

Does anyone else have a spider or creepy crawler problem, and how do
you cope with that and enjoy your garden and gardening?

Live with it. You can reduce your phobia yourself, by exposing
yourself to the ones you can handle (e.g. money spiders) and
working up. I can now pick up any UK spider with a piece of paper
and a glass, but cannot approach tarantulas.
