First started gardening with my grandad, me aged 2 - 3, helping him (bless him he actually let me do proper things and plant stuff in places where they would grow) and have carried on learning ever since. Now 59 so yes, I think I am an experienced gardener
Experience comes with age ...........I am quite experienced and passionate about gardeneing................but not particularily knowledgeable!
My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order to present to him vegetables and all beautiful flowers.- Offerings of Thutmose III to Amon-Ra (1500 BCE)
More experienced than some and less than others and that will always be the case.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
I wouldn't particularly call myself experienced though I have been at it, one way and another, for about 65 years,(from a very early age!!). However three year ago I did the RHS level 2 course, RHS General it used to be called, one day a week for 2 years, classroom based, not practical, I found this very useful as it put my acquired knowledge in order, as it were. I also took the exams, though I thought I'd never remember everything as I'm so ancient, I don't think I've ever swotted quite so hard for an exam before!! It was a very worthwhile experience which I really enjoyed. It's a set syllabus detailed by the RHS and I would recommend it to anyone with the time.
I would love to be experienced, but am very much a novice in gardening terms. Fortunately I have several friends/ neighbours who are very experienced and happy to help me as well as having now found the vine. So now I can enjoy gaining experience knowing help is at hand.
Been involved in various aspects of gardening since a small child, so about 55 years, so I'm just starting to learn a few things. No I'm not experienced yet!
I am certain that the day my boat comes in, I'll be at the airport.
I'm really experienced - compared to my townie sister who doesn't even know how to cook let alone grow fresh veg............
Complete novice compared to most on this 'ere vine

Been gardening since I 'helped' my granddads as a toddler. I cared for one granddad's immaculate garden from age ten for 2 years when he was in the last stages of his cancer, looked after Mum's garden when her and dad divorced when I was 13 and I've had a couple of allotments for more than 20 years, I'm 50 later this year and can't really remember a time when I wasn't gardening, but I am still learning and although I don't often have to consult a gardening book these days I do come across so many useful tips on the vine. I think I'm experienced, but not so stuck in my ways that I can't try something new.
Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.
