Over the past year, Mrs M has been in and out of hospital, and now finds it difficult to walk due to an injury to her foot.

Ivy & weeds had overtaken her back garden, making it inaccessible and leaving her unable to use her washing line.

I got to work ripping up the ivy, and uncovered an underground society of snails. Hundreds of them living their best lives munching happily away. Being mindful not to crush any, I evicted them from their shaded home to a more appropriate location.

After some time ripping, weeding, and rehoming, Mrs M’s garden was uncovered alongside her favourite dragon and frog ornaments. A fridge fresh coke zero kept me cool on the blazing hot May day, and I ended up filling 3 black bin bags full of garden waste.

Mrs M was ecstatic at having access to her garden & clothes line back, a psychological & logistical burden finally lifted.

It’s my estimation that one more trip back here will be needed to fully get rid of the ivy infestation that’s approaching from the other side of the garden gate, and to finally clear up the rest of the weeds.
