Ealing Report written by Alicia
Miss H has been unwell as of late and hasn't been able to tend to her beautiful, big garden as much as she'd like.
We set to work on planting dozens of lovely pot plants, including exotic looking black tulips and fragrant, cheery marigolds.
We were watched by next door's cute pug, King - who may have been wanting pick up a gardening tip or two.
We were so happy to help and would have been grateful for a mere cuppa tea, but the lovely Miss H went all out with a stunning platter of fresh fruit. We'll be back!

Because Ms H is housebound, a tidy garden would help with her emotional well being as she stated her garden gives her hope and happiness. Ms H tries to maintain but due to her limited mobility and pain she experiences, there is only so much she can do.

Westminster Report written by Tim Wheatley
I met Alicia outside Ms Bs house and we climber the 49 steps to meet Ms B in her beautiful top floor flat.
Ms B took us outside onto the roof and explained how she used to have a beautiful roof garden that she had been growing for over 20 years but a few months ago she had gone into hospital and whilst she had been away painters had come and moved all the pots and plants into a pile.
Sadly the garden was now a mess but Ms B had a plan. Under Her instructions we moved each pot individually back to its original place. Ms B is a keen gardener and fan of Monty Don so she was able to teach us the names of all the plants as we went.
It was great fun and we chatted as we worked, after about and hour and a half we had the garden looking fantastic again as the sun came out.
Our final job was to carry Ms Bs window box back down to her kitchen and place it on the outside ledge of the window. The window felt like it was 1000 feet in the air and the thought of dropping a terracotta pot from that hight made both our palms sweat, but we got it in place and secured to the the ledge.
Ms B was very happy with what we had done and we were both very happy to have had such a nice Sunday morning gardening.

Ms B's roof garden is her pride and joy, and it's upsetting her that it's in a mess.
