    hi everyone!! my name is luke and i've only really been into gardening for 2 years. my girlfriend is a chef and started growing her own herbs in the kitchen and my interest sky-rocketed from there. im currently at college and have been since september last year studying work based horticulture/landscape design and im on track for my diploma in june. i've also just landed my first real gardening job taking care of a space at a holiday park in my home town which im really excited about. i wont claim to be super informed about all aspects of gardening because im not, im a relative amateur whos looking for inspiration, information, and help. thats why i joined this site. i'll make sure i post on the topics i know a little about and i hope you guys can help me with my ponderings!! thanks guys! :-D

    Hi Luke, welcome to GardenStew from north Texas. Gardening is one of those subjects where there is always something new to learn and our members make learning so much fun, you will love it here.

    Any chance we can see photos of the space you will be taking care of? It would be fun to watch it's progress during the growing season.

    i'll be posting some more pics up soon of the garden i've designed at college, my garden at home, and the garden at work. i'll probably wait until my own garden has something in it though before i post those up.

    thanks again for the nice welcome people :-D
