Emma and Monica spent the afternoon exploring the secret wonders hidden in Ms J’s paradise of a garden, including her artist studio, and the surprise outdoor living room complete with fireplace!

Ms J needed some help to control the beautiful plants and trees that she had planted as seedlings herself over 30 years ago! The azaelia, roses and honeysuckle were all trimmed into shape, and an entire garden waste bin was filled with the offcuts.

A little bit of repotting, shuffling and heavy lifting of pots later and all the tasks on Ms J’s list we’re ticked off. A successful and enjoyable afternoon was had by all!
