Ms A’s daughter B welcomed us to the back garden, a space where Ms A enjoys potting plants and all the garden has to offer. Following on a visit this time last year from GoodGym there were some big shoes to fill and a lot of excitement to get the garden back to a more management state, especially as the summer sun starts to shine!!

Step 1 - Steph, Karen, Pippa and Helen made a plan

Step 2 - We divided...tackling dead plants, overgrown nettles, weeding patios, unearthing old Christmas trees, paying tribute to a pair of lion statues and generally transforming the entire space.

Step 3 - And, we conquered...B was absolutely delighted and overwhelmed and as such, so were we all.

Deed done, our nattering was certainly unfinished comparing latest adventures and future comings, stories and more. What a morning!!

Amazing work, everybody - sounds like cracking coordination and work. With all the plants sorted, the lions are no longer the mane attraction in the garden!
