    Hello all from northern Australia. I'm a teacher from Darwin where the climate is tropical which brings lots of pros & cons to our gardens!

    I'm a Sustainability/Garden Teacher and while I know a lot about our native fauna and flora I'm not very knowledgable about other areas of the globe.

    I'm looking forward to sharing & learning with you all and have made a good start as I found this place through a Google search for making cheap concrete stepping stones for our school garden. This site had the best info and I knew it was the place for me.

    Cheers. :-D

    Hi calypso, welcome to GardenStew from north Texas. Glad you found us and joined.
    Do you teach at the university level or lower grades? I think we all would love to learn more about being a Sustainability/Garden Teacher, sounds like a subject all schools should be teaching.

    Hi and welcome from SE Texas where I'm "almost" tropical. Can't wait to see everything you're growing... and I hope you share your sustainability knowledge with us.
