Hanging baskets
The most important thing is that it looks nice to you.
There are no hard and fast rules. Take a photo of any
you like to use for first attempts.
You must water hanging baskets at least once a day - twice
if it's sunny. This still matters even if it's been
raining as hanging baskets are often sheltered by walls and
dense foliage cuts down the amount of rain that gets through
to the soil.

Allotments
Grow your own vegetables - apart from fabulous tasting
food it's a great way to keep fit and meet people.
More and more women are taking allotments so it's no longer
just older men although many of them have huge experience
which they're happy to share. Try this link to
the
BBC page about growing your own vegetables.
Contact Bristol City Council for details of how to get an
allotment.

courses with each student having a small 'allotment' for 10
