This website is about the development of a new garden which I got when I bought a ground floor flat in 2020.The garden is in Hastings, England.

What is this site for?
1. I'm studying lanscape architecture and wanted a place to document how the garden changes over time as I develop a design for the garden and implement it.
2. I'm interested in sustainability and permaculture and I'm hoping that people will look at this site and give me tips and ideas about what I should and shouldn't do with the garden.
3. I'm interested in ecology and want to investigate which plants grow well or don't grow well in this garden (and why), and what wildlife lives in or visits the garden (and why).
What do I want from you?
Wherever I have written "Help!", I would be really grateful for your input if you have any advice/suggestions/information about that topic. And if you have comments about anything which I haven't asked for help with, that is useful, too (as there might be things that I need help/advice about which I haven't realised because I don't know enough about it!). Please quote the photo numbers so that I know exactly which photo/s you are talking about (hover over the photos to see the photo number).
(Apologies for the poor quality of the photos!)
The Plan?
I have only just started studying landscape architecture, so I'm not rushing into creating a design for the garden at this stage. For the first 12 months I will probably just observe the garden and become more familiar with it before starting to develop a design. But I will do plenty of posts on here about ideas that I'm considering for the final design!
