Well, what an amazing day.
A young guy (well, younger than me) came round to give me a quote for some work in my backyard. (NOT a euphemism by the way).
Anyway, we got talking about psoriasis and how I was struggling to keep up with my container garden. Turns out his mum has psoriasis too plus arthritis. He created a seating area for her so she could soak up some vitamin D and made accessible beds/containers for her as she loves cottages gardens & herb growing.
He really knew his stuff about what would work best for me and my space, took a sketch and is compiling me a planting plan & list of recommended flowers for the more shady areas.
I already have all the gear ( hanging baskets/brackets/pots/tools etc.) so he's coming back next Thursday to get it all done.
£50!!!
I was expecting to be quoted double that.
I told him about this little forum if his mum wanted to check it out ( so best behaviour folks).
