  Lesbian gardens? Now there's a name to conjure up some interesting mental images. Everybody knows what to expect when they visit a rose garden, herb garden or vegetable garden, but what might we expect to find in a lesbian garden?

A few of our visitors have trouble picturing sensibly dressed lesbians mowing lawns, doing some weeding or watering their vegetables. Which is hardly surprising after all, if you consider what a web search for 'lesbians +pictures' will get you. Isn't it amazing, the number of lesbians who seem to love prancing about wearing nothing but a pair of spike heels and half a ton of make up? 

Things have improved recently, as more women get connected to the internet, but the pornographers are still spreading their own distorted images of how lesbians prefer to spend their leisure time across cyberspace. To such an extent that the very word 'lesbian' is deemed offensive and inappropriate by most of the blocking and filtering software available to schools and parents.

This web site is intended as a counterweight. It has been created for and dedicated to all the wonderful lesbians who enjoy gardening. You'd be surprised how many of us there are, I dare say we outnumber the long-nailed fantasy lesbians in the pornographic sites by a sizable margin as soon as you leave cyberspace. Although for some unfathomable reason there aren't many suckers prepared to send us money in exchange for photographs of our members in sturdy work boots turning the compost. Sad really, because some extra cash would be nice.....

These are the home page of the lesbiangardens mailing list. If you haven't already surfed on in disgust, then you  may well be the kind of person who will enjoy exploring our site..

    Lesbiangardens is a mailing list for dykes who share a passion for gardening. When we aren't actually in the garden we like to read about gardening, and what could be better than reading letters from other dykes describing their own gardens in widely different parts of the world, sharing their glee when something goes right and enjoying a good grumble when it doesn't. 

You don't need to know anything about gardening to join us, you don't even need to have your own garden.  Just so long as you are female, love womyn and enjoy reading about gardens, pot-plants, allotments, weather, weeds, bugs, compost, manure and garden loving dykes all over the world. 
Any puerile thrill-seeking infiltrators are likely to be bored to tears, and serve them right too!  
We aren't garden experts, although we do have some very highly trained and experienced gardeners in our midst. The size of our gardens varies, from a few pots on a window sill, via gardens filled with flowers and vegetables, to acres of organically grown vegetables. What we have in common is our enjoyment of green and growing things.

We have members from many different parts of the globe. A single days post can take you on a garden tour of the world. We are in the process of creating a guided around-the-world tour of our own gardens. That part of the site is still under construction, new members and contributions are welcome. The secret garden link leads to a part of the web site that is reserved for members of the lesbian gardens mailing list only. 
 

One small difficulty that arises with such an international group is that some of us measure temperature in centigrade, while others still adhere to the fahreheit scale.  
To lessen the confusion, here is the formula for converting them into each other; C=F-32/1,8 (or xºF = (x-32)/1,8ºC).  The less mathematically inclined might prefer to print out this comparative scale for easy reference.
