After three weeks of tackling this wild garden, Kevin, llana and Kareem finally finished! Each session ran for almost two hours and felt like we were on an adventure. The place looked like it hasn't been tended for a very long time and was completely overgrown full of brambles, trash and loads of thorns (had our fair share of scratches along the way)

We even found animal carcasses hidden in there (not the kind of treasure we were hoping for). The highlight was a neighbour's cat who watched us like a tiny supervisor making sure we didn’t slack off.

By the end we cleared everything up and piled all the cuttings in one corner for the council to collect. We also fixed up the fence and did a bit of woodworking. Kevin came prepared with the right tools and some spare wood!

It was hard work but super satisfying to see the transformation. Now Ms A actually has a garden she can enjoy instead of a mini jungle. A great team effort all around and mission accomplished!
