Hi - I have a stephanotis plant for about 3 yrs and it only flowered when I bought it. I dont overwater it and do feed it regularly during summer. Is there anything I can do to get it to flower? Many thanks.

I want to grow a hedge behind a 500mm high old stone wall, to give some privacy to my garden and to act as a shelter belt for my planned fruit/veg garden. Can you please suggest a quick growing evergreen (not laylandes!) - that will withstand windy conditions. The location has full sun for most of the day. Also, I'm on a budget so nothing TOO extravagent! Also, its a cottage garden. OK thats it thanks!

Hi Gerry, I have a beautiful 2 year old acer japonicum doing very well in my back garden. I am moving to a house with no garden - only a small patio - and I was wondering if it were at all possible to re-plant it in a very large pot?. I know the answer is probably no, but thought I'd ask anyway. Thank you!
