    Hi, I'm new here and look forward to meeting you all and getting a lot of advice for the coming season. For the past 5 years I have been working with aquatic plants for my fish tanks. I'm pretty good with that. I also have a knack for bringing certain potted plants to new life. I don't have outdoor property of my own, but I have been given permission to help arrange a pleasing landscape for my church. I live in zone 6a, and need a lot of ideas. There are a couple of certain trees that the priest wants, such as a Weeping Cherry tree and Blue Spruce. Those are easy enough. But, I was also getting ideas from friends in Germany, and it is difficult to find the plants here, such as a yellow Winter Jasmine. I really want to get a couple of those to place around the church sign, but I can't find them for sale here.
    So, that is a quick intro to me, and a rundown of the direction I am starting in. I look forward to meeting the rest of you and hope to become a well-established member here, myself.

    :-D

    Thank you all for the warm welcomes! :)

    Toni, thank you for the link! Awesome! and a nice price. I was getting worried about that when I couldn't find it.

    Droopy, I will definitely post pictures of my progress. I just added the pictures of my fishtanks to my profile. Feel free to check them out. :-D
