NVU

Learning to create websites using Nvu is a must especially if you are hoping to take the web by storm. Just read what the developers have to say:

“Finally, a top-notch WYSIWYG web page program for the rest of us! Now there’s no need to pay a little fortune for a program to create and edit great-looking web pages, including powerful and easy to use CSS capabilities.

Nvu is a complete Web Authoring System that combines web file management and easy-to-use WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) web page editing capabilities found in Microsoft Front Page, Macromedia Dreamweaver and other high end programs.

Nvu is designed to be extremely easy to use, making it ideal for non-technical computer users who want to create an attractive, professional-looking web site without needing to know HTML or web coding.”

I’m going to give Nvu a try and with a little hard work I’ll be heading the page listings! So watch this little white space.

Geoff Hamilton’s Barnsdale Collection

Recently a friend of mine at work gave me a loan of a video tape which contains Geoff Hamilton’s Barnsdale Collection. This video collection features extracts from the BBC Gardeners’ World TV series in which Geoff Hamilton demonstrates season by season all the essential gardening techniques – from pruning to propagation, from laying paving to tending lawns; essential practical information for new gardeners and those with more experience.

Geoff also shows how to make your own stream, how to build two different herb gardens – one traditional, the other modern. He then shows how to create a rockless rock garden.

All the profits from the sale of this video go to Geoff Hamilton’s New Gardeners Foundation to fund scholarships for young people who want to make a career in gardening.

The following video, hints and tips on creating and planting a secluded garden. This is the final series from the much-loved gardener, author and presenter, who died in 1996.

New Gardening Blog

Yes this is my new gardening blog. I will be updating it several times during the week. I am a gardener & landscape designer based in Dublin, Ireland. I also have another gardening blog: http://gardentales.blogspot.com.

The web is full of fascinating gardening blogs. Please take time to explore what other gardeners are writing about. Gardening & landscape design are not just about people with green fingers and strong backs. Although it does help to have a little bit of both characteristics!
Thanks for dropping by.
