Hello,
I've just joined your Forum and I'd like introducing myself.
I'm an about sixty-year-old french gardener.
My garden lies close to Perpignan in the"Citrus zone", so that the best plants for our gardens come from the Sout-west of the USA, Argentina, RSA or Australia, but they must withstand at least minus 5°C and I must acclimatize them because lots of them had never been grown there.
I've been trying planting the nicest plants I could find for about 25 years.
I'm interested in every nice unusual plant that withstands our climate.
I'built many plants collections. I plant them according their cultural needs for soil, Sun and water.
I like sharing my experiments, so that I'm a chairman in the French Society for Acclimatizing plants, and I wrote many articles in our Newsletter 'Plantaexotica".
