I'm no botanist or anything (although I have seriously given that field some thought), but I have a little knowledge to share and am always interested in learning more. So I personally would love to be a part of a gardening forum. My favorite plants to grow are orchids, bonsai, bamboo, ferns, and grasses. And I would love to share knowledge with some fellow pond owners as well.

No one else replied, but that's the cool thing about running the site -- I set up a Gardening forum ANYWAY!
Your gardening activities are much more advanced than mine -- anytime someone comments on how much they like my plants, my stock line is, "Thank you, but really I only grow anything that doesn't die on me within 6 months. So what you see here are the
survivors!"
I wish I could grow ferms, orchids, bonsai -- those would all dry to a crisp here in San Antonio, if grown outside. Do you have a greenhouse?
A pond would be awesome. I have a small bird bath with a low-tech dripper (doesn't turn off when the bath's full) and it's a big hit with my various avian visitors.
