Free Garden

Due to the imminent arrival of my second child my budget for garden plants and tools has been limited to, well zero.
On top of this i’m not what you would call an Alan Titmarsh or a Monty Don. Of course you can watch the programmes and they make it look so easy, with amazing results. I’m what you would say and excuse the pun “green” to this subject.
I moved into our current property a year ago and have only really cut the grass when I can but now I want to build the garden into something my wife and neighbours can enjoy. Hopefully inspire?
In a nutshell everything will be done on the free/swop/offered.

Also it might help if you post a photo of your plot and say which direction it faces.

Welcome to Goy, a new baby on the way, hope all is going well, most of us have been through that stage and the priority has to be the family, in my opinion they are safer in their own gardens, mine was for the children for many years, toys, ball playing area and a big place for them to do their own thing and that always had to include room to dig a big hole and have lots of fun, I still unearth treasures in various spots...
Enjoy your garden Kig, look forward to seeing how you get on, we all learn as we go along....

Yes, happy to offer you my spares if and when you want them Kig....looking forward to seeing it develop and hearing about your plans. Play area is a must of course, but small children often love to garden too, and it's a great way to spend time together if they are excited by nature. :)
