Default How to get confidence with gardening?

Hi there,
Each time I buy a indoor plant or look something up that's related to
any kind of gardening I get entirely lost in all the terminology,
Latin names, etc.

I would like to get improved at gardening and growing things devoid of
having to get my degree in horticulture. Are there any sources
(websites/books) for beginners who don't understand all the "big
words”?


See if there is a garden club in your town. These are often a good informal
way of learning where you can ask the meaning of specialised words in the
context of seeing or doing something practical. This may suit your style
rather than "book learning".
