Welcome to the gardening blog.

I hope this will be a place for you to share your expertise and ask for advice, catch up on the latest news and gossip from the gardening world, and read some of the best gardening writers, past and present.

"All gardeners know better than other gardeners." We're taking this Chinese proverb to heart, and inviting you to share your tips and expertise, or share your cry for help with rampaging rhododendrons or maggoty marrows. You can ask our gardening expert Lia Leendertz for her advice on everything from aphids to zinnias, and contribute your own wisdom to solve others' queries.

Our resident hippy gardener Dominic Murphy will be wrestling with everything from wormeries to water butts to bring you his pearls of wisdom on green gardening, starting with a blogpost on the new additions to his household, a trio of chickens. You'll be able to find out what Vita Sackville-West and Christopher Lloyd were writing about in their weekly columns for the Observer and the Guardian, and check what jobs you can be getting on with around the garden this week. And look out for some posts from our friends from around the garden blogs, too, including the anonymous blogger Garden Monkey, usually known for their satirical posts, but here bringing us a poignant post about a favourite garden tool.

Take a look around then let us know what you think, and what you'd like to see on this blog by adding your comments below or emailing space@guardian.co.uk.
