Hi all.

I have just inherited (literally) a garden and, to be honest, know very
little about gardening. I recognise a daffodil, a tulip and dandelion and
that's about my lot. I have books on garden plants and shrubs but it seems
that unless you already know what a plant is the books don't help much.

Is plant identification a function of the group? If I can find out what
various plants are (some may be weeds - likely the ones growing well) I can
maybe make some headway.

So, basically, if I post some links to pictures of stuff will the group help
out?

TIA

A very warm welcome to the group. Trying to identify a plant for
someone online is an enjoyable experience and I am sure that members
will be pleased to help you in your endeavours.

Regards,

Welcome and the answer generally is yes, post link, not pictures and those
who know will try and help.

Hello and welcome, this is a group where there are some like me, an
amateur and there are also others who are experts. I have gained so
much knowledge over the years but I still consider that I know very
little in comparison to a lot of people here.

There are specialists who can answer about trees and shrubs, some on
flowers, some on veg, I can heklp you with fashion whilst gardening if
that would be of any help to you?

Hi Mel,
Welcome to URG. I think that a lot of people like myself like the challenge
of identifying plants :~) Always feels like a quiz to me and it's nice to
test ones knowledge or learn from others what plants are called.....

If you don't have your own webspace you can post stuff really easily with
Google : http://picasa.google.com
