Hi

I am totally new to gardening after moving to a house with a nice size
back
garden. The past owners however perferred the minimalist approach with
just
a lawn and some conifers along the back fence for privacy. There are a
few
plants (which I have been told are London Prides) that I think must have
blown in but other than that nothing. They even covered most of the soil
over with a plastic sheeting and pebbles.

Are there any good beginners web sites out there on the internet that can
help me, an absolute novice, plan and build a nice relaxing garden. I
would
like a lot of shrubs and plants that will attract birds and insects
(butterflies etc) as just across the road at the back we have some public
land that the council are purposely leaving to grow wild flowers etc.

I have a rough idea of how I want it to look like but needhelp choosing
plants and there positions.

Internet is wonderful, but books are sometime better :~)

Check out the 'Expert' series of gardening books by D.G. Hessayon
There is a whole range for all types of plants/gardening/gardens. they are
reasonalble priced too :~))

You could also check the local library for book on design. Then you can see
what you might like to buy.
