Are you a Plantaholic ? join your fellow sufferers and find out how to get help for your problem ! All too often we rush into buying/growing that gorgeous looking plant we have seen in books, at garden centres or in other gardens. However, when we are wandering round our own garden, with the pot in our hand, the problems start. Come and hear some hints on how to make spaces fit for those *must have* plants.
