Hi everyone

Thought I would join, so I would have a 'go to' place for advice and tips, as a novice gardener. As a follower of Lee on Instagram ( ilovecats2607) YouTube and Garden Rescue, I'm hoping to further my knowledge of basic gardening. I have a very small courtyard garden, which I manage to look after with a bit of help from my youngest daughter (since being diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my hips). Two small borders, gravel and paving make up my little sanctuary, that I manage to fill with shrubs, planters and pots galore. Gardening is painful for me at times, but I love it, so I plod on and try and grow as much as I can within the space.

Welcome to the forum MTG, and good luck for that garden - sounds really nice already.

I think I saw some specially designed gardening tools to ease pressure on joints and muscles; so perhaps that could help a little too?
