Hello

 I too am a keen gardener so I bought an apt..... with a garden!   I assume you have done that to enable you to familiarize yourselves with all the varied  spanish plants & their needs & Spanish gardening in general,  I had to learn what lives & what doesn't in these temperatures, in my south facing garden

 Years ago I joined a gardening club that met twice a month,  in my area. and  had some great days out at gardens off the beaten track. I loved it but it closed down long ago as no one wanted to take on the responsibility for organisg every meeting/outing -- I have never found another club  that I could get to, so home gardening & enjoying what I find on my walks has to do

Cheers

Hi

Don't know what is "keen", but gardening yes. You are welcome to come and see the 2000m2 orchard and vegetable garden I started 5 years ago, all ecological, from a dead clay soil. Also we could exchange some seeds, trees or plants. For decorative purpose, I've got Ricin, Achantus and calendula. Now I'm try the tomate tree, decorative and comestible plant, suitable  for place near the sea, always out of freeze in winter.
