We are not at all scary on GOY, Boopcolz. Why don't you stick around with us and see if you enjoy the site as much as I do? We all love gardening and we are a group - from all over the world! Nice to meet you!

Welcome to GOY. As spritz said GOY is a real community and we can chat and ask each other questions, so if you can't find a group this is a good way of talking together. I live abroad so no chance of getting together with like minded folk, but I find I talk to a lot more through this site than I could face to face.

I don't live in the area but may I suggest you investigate if there are any Garden Clubs locally? They are not scary places full of experts and I am sure they would welcome new members. Also, local U3A groups often have garden sections (the one here has three!)
