Dear UK gardeners,
Can you please give advice on where to advertise to attract
garden-friendly people to move to a Edinburgh tenement block?
free.uk.talk.edinburgh
alt.uk.edinburgh.misc
Thanks for the pointers, Sacha! Apparently there is also ed.general.
(And, unlike free.uk.talk.edinburgh and alt.uk.edinburgh.misc,
ed.general is miraculously spam-free. Unfortunately, it still has a
quite low signal-to-noise ratio.)
soc.culture.scottish
Just curious, wouldn't advertising for gardeners to move to/within
Edinburgh be a bit off-topic, or is it really okay to discuss anything
with any Scottish connection in that group?
Gardeners weekly, Amateur gardener
I'm guessing these are print publications. Right? Is it possible to
get an advertisement in them at extremely low cost? (The available
budget for this is absolutely zero.)
Local gardening Clubs
I've tried to find those, still in the middle of searching. Anyone
know which are the best such clubs to contact for the Edinburgh area?
Allotment Associations
I've posted to the FEDAGA (Federation of Edinburgh and District
Allotments and Gardens Associations) online forum. Unfortunately, I
think not many people read this forum. I'm trying to see if there is
some way to get a message directly to people on the various allotment
waiting lists.
garden centres and nurseries.
Ah, this is a nice idea, Janet! Post a flyer at a garden center.
Lovely.
I just thought of another place to post flyers: at the city's
allotment sites.
Thanks for the helpful pointers to those who replied!
