Dear Members & Visitors,The Garden is an online community for people who share the love for PJ Harvey's music, created on February 26th, 2006. The idea behind creating this community was having a place for us, made by us. Where we could share and discuss information in an organized way. Where PJ would be the main star. We are constantly searching for improvement, in a group effort to find the most user-friendly structure and provide an environment where our members can interact with people from all over the world and talk openly about everything, PJ related or not.
We hope you all enjoy your time here, and feel free to contribute to this place with whatever you can, even if that's simply your attention. Questions, suggestions, opinions and everything else are always welcome.
If you'd like to introduce yourself, you can do it at the
Meet the Gardeners thread - where you can also get to know the other members better - or start your own thread in the general forum
Stories from the City.
Best Regards,

sauThe History of The Garden... and all of its homes.In case you got to know our forum while hosted by ForumsPlace (until September 2007) and/or iForumer/Forum5 (until August 2009) and are wondering what the story behind our nomadism is...
When I started the forum I had no knowledge on how to do it by myself or resources to invest, so I chose to do it on free forum hosts. After a brief attempt at Armleg, I settled down at ForumsPlace, where the forum began being run conjointly with the original team and the addition of two staff members who are now administrators.
At some point navigation on ForumsPlace became pretty much impossible, so we were forced to leave and restart from scratch. FP did not offer a backup, so unfortunately all members were required to re-register and the content posted there couldn't be transported. Eventually the whole service was shut down.
So we moved to Forum5. The service was very good, and one of the main reasons we chose it was because it offered a backup. Unfortunately, what we did not know was that the service was going through what seemed to be changes in command. Up until this day they never clarified what happened. If you've been a member since 2008 you might remember a huge crash that caused a downtime for around a month. After that, the place seemed to be abandoned, only set to run smoothly (we assume for advertisement revenue purposes) but with no support whatsoever, and worse - with no backup. We did pay for the backup access, but were denied and got no response when trying to find a way around it. Due to the risk of one day waking up and realizing the forum was gone, aside from not having any autonomy to control our own fate, we decided the best thing to do would be starting again from scratch.
Currently we are running the forum on our own dedicated web space, which means we have full control on what happens here, backups and consequently the possibility to move out without having to leave anything behind in case it's ever necessary.
As you can see it's been a long and stressful road, but we've finally found our permanent home and we can assure you this is definitive. We apologize for the inconvenience throughout the years and we truly appreciate the patience and support of the members who've followed us here.
