Report written by Jen Stoneham

Share the love

After four visits and 14 hours of GoodGym effort, John, Vicki and I finally finished Mrs P's garden this morning.

John and Vicki set to work on ivy-taming whilst I took to weeding and dead-heading. I had lots of assistance from Honey and Fifi, who even took to sitting on my lap at one point!

After tidying up all the flower beds Vicki and John even finished up with some planting too.

We have a very satisfied customer in Mrs P, whose garden is now hopefully much more manageable for her!
