I brought two with me when we moved here and that is only because they were still in pots. ;D

I know my style of gardening won't suit anybody else. I've seriously thought about putting tree preservation orders on some of my trees.

I know that my previous garden (and house) have been completely altered. I've said I never want to go back there.

Your experience is a case in point, Grindle. What vandals your buyers were!

I know but we can all dream. I'd love to wake up one morning and say 'today I will do nothing', rather than 'I'm bored, what can I do'

It's almost an unbearable thought but I suppose if one day the garden got to much for us we would have little choice but to move. I wouldn't go for a smaller garden, I would go for a house with almost no garden and in a town or village near a green or park where I could admire other peoples hard work. One of these cottages would be nice, with the river in front the park to the rear and only a short walk to the City.

Normally I wouldn't have bothered, but I visited my next door neighbours and couldn't help but see. It's their garden now, but I was sad to see all the lovely clematis and roses gone. Most of the 'specials' came with me and I filled the gaps with cheap perennials and annuals

Thanks Tel

It may help the sale of the house but I doubt you get a financial reward for your efforts.
