0Getting the London garden ready for summer
When I had friends over on the weekend I felt I had to apologies about the state of the garden. It’s not that the little garden should be very difficult to look after. There’s even artificial grass, but somehow it still looks like it’s in terrible need of some TLC every spring.
That’s why I was thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with the friendly team at Fantastic Services again. I’ve come to rely on them for most home services and in addition to working with Fantastic Services on reviews, like I did this time, I’ve used the Fantastic Services app to book services myself too.
Gardening is my very favourite thing to get done. I never have much time to explain what we need doing, as I’m busy with the children, but the Fantastic Gardeners always seem to know what to do and manage to transform our little London garden into a space I want to spend more time in.
As soon as I came home today, I went out in the garden and just looking at it made me smile. I hate feeling guilty about not allocating time to removing weeds and dead plants, and for me it’s more than enough to remember to buy plants and soil and water the plants.
In fact, watering was the one thing the gardener reminded me to do after this visit. It showed that it hadn’t been my strongest skill and many of our plants had to be replaced with the new ones I’d bought for the team to plant.
The good news is that we have a budding gardener in the family. Four-year-old Big Girl has taken the gardener’s advice to heart. She has announced that she will be watering the new flowers in the window boxes on her playhouse every single day – even on weekends.
Let’s hope this new interest will remain and that our garden can now continue to be an inviting space for the family to enjoy.
