Gardening for Life
We have launched a new initiative to promote the Gardening for Life Programme. This programme is supported by the Guildford Environmental Forum and Surrey Wildlife Trust. It encourages people to actively encourage 'flora and fauna' to thrive in their gardens by providing suitable habitats as well as gardening in an environmentally friendly way. The Gardening for Life pack has information sheets on key species. (Please note this file is 1.8Mb, and will take around 5 minutes to download if you have a dial up connection). Please email climatechange@guildford.gov.uk if you would like a paper copy. We carried out a survey in July 2003 and over 700 of Guildford's gardeners took part. As well as high figures for robins, blackbirds, ladybirds, sparrows and frogs, 37% reported bats in their gardens and 6% had bat roosts!

Perennial Gardening at Gardening tips
Welcome to Gardening tips Article The Tools of Rose Gardening Ron King Like any job you tackle, it's always easier if you have the right tools. Before heading out to your rose garden, make sure you arm yourself with these basic rose gardening tools. Gloves "You can complain because a rose has thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have a rose." - Tom Wilson. The rose garden is no place for thin, wimpy gloves. Unless you enjoy feeling the thorns pierce your skin, opt for leather work gloves with those big, fold-down cuffs. Pruners A good pruner is one tool that you will use almost daily. There are two types of pruners on the market. One is called an "anvil" pruner, and the other is called a "bypass" pruner. An anvil pruner has blades that meet on top of each other. Bypass pruners have blades that pass each other like scissors.
