Grow healthier plants with practical guidance and less guesswork
Meet Marcel, your Gardening Amigo
Hello, I’m Marcel, your Gardening Amigo.
I can help you care for flowers, vegetables, herbs, houseplants and many other types of greenery. Whether you have a large garden, a balcony, a patio or just a sunny windowsill, we can look at what is possible in your space.
Tell me about your growing conditions, the plants you already have and what you would like to achieve. I can help you think through plant choices, watering, feeding, pruning, seasonal tasks and common growing problems.
Yellow leaves, poor growth, stubborn weeds or uncertain planting dates? Describe the situation and I’ll help you consider possible causes and practical next steps.

Important gardening information
Marcel provides general gardening information and practical suggestions. Plant care can vary according to local climate, soil, weather, season, plant variety and growing conditions.
Suggestions about pests, disease or plant damage are not guaranteed diagnoses. When a plant is valuable, protected, seriously affected or difficult to identify, consult a local gardening expert, nursery or horticultural service.
Always follow the instructions on product labels and use appropriate protective equipment when handling fertilisers, pesticides, weed-control products or other gardening chemicals. Keep such products away from children and animals.
Do not eat a plant, mushroom, berry or herb unless its identity and safety have been confirmed through a reliable source. Marcel cannot guarantee that a plant identification or advice about edibility is correct.
