Default Gardening Trends

Hello All

I am in serious need of help. I am a student from Aarhus, Denmark,
and I have been asked for my exam project in culture to do a detailed
description of the British people's relation to their private gardens,
and the current gardening trends in private gardening. As I cannot buy
any British gardening magazines without subscribing to them, I thought
that finding a hopefully comptent and helpful British gardening forum
would be a better idea. My project is due in a month's time, so I will
greatly appreciate quick answers.
I apologise for coming onto this forum with an educational interest,
and not a personal interest.
If you want me to elaborate on anything, I will be more than helpful
to do so.
Anyway, I sincerely hope you will help me, and I will be forever
grateful.

Thank you,
Stefan

PS. Any links, writings, or other references are also greatly
appreciated.


You appear to have come here via gardenbanter which is UK based. However
many correspondents are international so you will need to check this before
ascribing their ideas and attitudes to the Brits.

There is a huge amount of material on the internet and in the archives of
usenet but until you make clearer what you want to know it is hard to make
any recommendation.

We have had several students attempt to gather information here who created
a survey using one of the free internet systems for operating
questionnaires. Many of these were hastily thrown together and not very
good. If you are tempted to go this way I suggest that you test your
questionnaire on English-speaking people before you publish it widely.
