The Internet Garden

27 Mar '04 10:03 pm

welcome to the forums Jo-Anne Smile

I'd like to kickstart this Internet Garden idea :

Location
Moosey? Where is the Internet garden going to be located on the property? I'd hoped that we'd be at the 'discussing irrigation with Stephen the garden engineer' stage by now Smile

Nomination

We're taking Plant nominations for the next few months to build up a good varied list of plants that are available in New Zealand. You can your suggestions via the forum post here : nominations

(link reminder courtesy of mopsie)

When we've got enough suggestions in I'll setup the pages, the graphics and all the silly hype. I've attached a draft picture of the kind of sillyness I'm thinking of to this post.

Ideally the voting lists will have pictures of plants and I'm sorry Moosey but ALL PLANTS MUST BE CORRECTLY & FULLY NAMED! There will be no such thing as 'The spikey punk plant' or 'The Nasty Grass' in this Internet Garden Smile

That sort of info can go into the plant profiles / bios.

Altercation

I thought that it would be fun to include some agressive plants in the mix to create a bit of gardening mayhem. clematis montana or the golden hop spring to mind - Moosey might not enjoy all the added work but it would make great viewing Smile

Enough from me I'm off to nominate some plants I'd like to see in the garden.

There wasn't anything to click on in the "you can make suggestions via the forum post here: " I'm going to click around, I think I've seen that post somewhere.

thanks mopsie Smile

I've been thinking about the Internet Garden - first is its name - I'm going to stop calling it the Internet Garden (doh) and try calling it the 'mooseEgarden' for a while.

I thought we could introduce another interactive element by allowing the voting public to decide on some of the non-plant elements - paths, arches, garden benches etc.

Imagine being able to select a garden path from the following : (tee hee hee)

Will you choose path A,B,C or let Tajdog the Garden Designer and dogpath architect decide?

We could easily do the same with Arches, Garden Bench / Seat / Chairs etc. Maybe this is the excuse Moosey is looking for to create another pond? a fountain? A birdpath? A birdfeeder? Another of mooseys rustic garden sculptures? A rusting half buried gardening radio last seen in 2001? Cool - Another list is required!

Dearest Eggy, You definitely are the son of your mother. What's more you must have FAR TOO MUCH time on your hands - Clematis Montana and Golden Hop battles indeed! Next you'll want archways covered with the rose Wedding Day!
Seriously, I do know where the new garden will be going, and will be providing a basic plan very soon. You would be better employed conducting a sensible poll - for example, should the weeping pear tree be allowed to shift in? - rather than inciting plant riots.
