    Hi Everyone,

    I am new here. I just joined because some friends on Garden Talk at BHG recommended this site. BHG has been my favorite gardening forum for nearly 3 years, but now they are closing down. A lot of us are very sad about that. :'( I had never heard of this site before, so I am learning my way around your place.

    Gardening is one of my favorite hobbies. I hope to post some pictures of my garden soon.

    What a great photo! Can't wait to see more of your garden. Glad you are here and sorry about your previous forum shutting down. I would be at a loss if that happened. This is a positive great place to chat about just about anything ;) , but especially about gardens and plants. Welcome! :stew1:

    Welcome to GardenStew from Chelmsford MA AAnightowl, we are glad to have you aboard. It is unfortunate when a garden site shuts down, members get scattered and it is hard to maintain contacts. Here you have a home. So again welcome aboard, We are looking forward to your posts.

    Welcome, Nightowl! This is a very friendly forum, and we love pictures and garden talk. I've learned more about gardening here than on any other forum. You'll enjoy it here, I'm sure.

    Welcome to Gardenstew! Lots of nice friendly people reside here. There is always someone here to answer questions or "chat" about gardening.
    It's the only garden forum I belong to now.

    Welcome to GS (from the coastline of Karachi Pakistan)! You will find everything over here to your liking - People from different parts of the world (and everyone extremely friendly). To lots of cool stuff in the hobbies and crafts section! Plus great brainstorming when it comes to sharing ideas about gardening.

    You no doubt will enjoy it a lot here! In fact, why don't you also invite some of your buddies from that other forum. Since that place is closing down anyway, why not come and join the gang over here! :)

    Thank you everyone ! Some of my buddies from over there are on their way here too. One of them invited me here, and a number of them have been here already. Though I havent yet seen their names. I will try to post some pics of my garden here soon.

    I have question. I have a garden site elsewhere where I already have pics posted. Is it okay to post a link to that as well ? It is also a nice garden forum, but a different format.


    Here are a few tulips from another spring. They did not do so well this year.
