Hello everybody. My name is Andrzej (Andrew, Andreas, Andre) and as polish language is diffficult for foreigners to pronounce it would be much easier for you to call me Andy. Most or even all of my foreign friends call me like that. I live in Poland, in the central part of the country close to our capital city - Warsaw. Few years ago I started to grow my garden. Before that I hated to do anbything in the garden but something pushed me to change my point of view. I visited many different countries and places abroad and in Poland. When I noticed that in many placec there were nice lawns and shrubs I decided to change my garden. And finally it started to be my hobby.
Just 18 months ago I started to run a blog in Polish. It's been mostly dedicated to evergreen broadleaf plants. Having lots of viewers I decided to start to write in English. You can check my Polish blog on www.zimozielonyogrod.blogspot.com and use Google translator to read it. But this tool is still not so accurate and lots of misunderstandings appear whe you try to translate it into any language.
I live in a small town where you can find a lot of trees. Just on the border between Podkowa Leśna and Brwinów. There are small villas here and each house has its own garden. Most of them are quite big, with more than 1500m2. Many trees means a lot of shadow. So it also has an influence on the garden. I had to choose special grass and shrubs which can grow in shady places. I didn't know anything about gardening when I started to rearrange my garden. It was in 2006. Until now I've learned a lot about gardening and I can say I have quite good experience in it.
I'm very interested in evergreen broadleaf shrubs or plants in general. Climate in Poland does not allow to grow many of them here but there are some of them which can grow here and are hardly enough to withstand our winters.
I will present here more information about our climate, I will show you my evergreen broadleaf plants and write how to take care of them in different seasons. I will also present you some nice and very interesting places in Poland and abroad like botanical gardens, parks and arboretum.
Please forgive me if I make any language mistakes. English is not my native language but I will try to do my best to write as properly as possible.
Welcome to my new blog dedicated to evergreen broadleaf plants.
