This project began as a database for my garden diary. As I read through my list I wondered what experiences my friends had had of the plants that I grew and wondered whether we could turn the list into collaborative project. A mere catalogue of plants and their likes and dislikes, though seemed a bit boring, perhaps we could share all aspects of our experiences with gardens and gardening. Eventually I envisaged a project celebrating the many ways people round the world enjoy their plants and gardens and hoped that the project would evolve into a literary site in the spirit of the great Victorian garden writers
