Report written by Linda Sharman
Linda and Katherine bumped into each other en route to Mrs S so arrived together.
Mrs S clearly has previously loved her garden but can’t cope at the moment. It was clear that there was more work than we had time for so she was surprised and disappointed when we said we only had 90 minutes. The garden is on two levels so we opted to clear the part that was most accessible to her and see what time was left for the rest. There were quite a few weeds round the edge of the garden and in between the paving stones, Katherine started in snail corner being careful not to tread on the little creatures…well…most of them anyway 🙈 We weeded the patio, picked up bits of a previously torn down tree, then swept the area including the fake grass. We had 5 minutes left so raced to see how much we could clear of the pile of twigs on the next level up.
With three bags of garden rubbish cleared Mrs S was grateful for our efforts and we advised her to book another session to get the job finished.
