Two runners helped clear Ms C’s front garden
A beautiful, crisp sunny morning greeted Rupesh and Steve as they arrived to help Ms C with her garden. When we arrived she explained a little about how she isn’t able to tend it herself, but has been very grateful for gardening help recently.
You can tell she cares a lot about how it looks - the beds had a variety of lovely plants, and those little plant info instruction ticket things that stick in the ground were everywhere.
Rupesh and Steve set to work clearing bricks, rubble and leaves from amongst the plants and giving them the best chance of getting through the winter to thrive in the spring. In no time at all we had filled one bag with stones, another with leaves, and had cleared and swept her front patio and steps too.
Ms C kindly gave us some water and a cuppa, and we soon cleared the bags and other debris out of her front yard. With a smile and a wave we set off back to enjoy our weekends.
