HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Rose and clematis (member) Garden
Listing last updated on Sat Apr 2025
On the one hand, our garden is old-fashioned, with its antique benches, old stone outbuildings and hundreds of historical, traditional and long-forgotten varieties of flowers; on the other, it is modern, with its gravel beds and our annual efforts to add the newest cultivars. There are wild stretches teaming with birds, butterflies and bees, and a small, well kept vegetable garden and greenhouse. A small pond boasts a waterfall, aquatic plants, frogs, one fish and a sizable population of newts. There are also full grown trees (oak, ash and walnut), saplings (liquidambar, swamp maple, and dogwood) and an orchard (apple, pear, plum, apricot, peach, quince and medlar). The house to which the garden is attached was built in the mid 19th century, and although it has retained its country charm, it has a modern edge, too. The house and garden are adorned with over 200 roses (mostly English and historical), which provide a stunning visual and olfactory experience. Dogs and ducks round off the eclectic, artsy atmosphere.
