Within a week of moving in to my new house, my dear old neighbour had started haranguing me about…read morethe tree in my garden, and telling me that the previous owner had promised to do something about it. We both agreed that a) a 40-foot Leylandi towering over the backs of our little terraced houses perhaps wasn't the best idea ever, and b) that since I'd only just moved in, she'd pay half the costs if I did something about it the same summer. So, I duly set about contacting local tree surgeons for quotes to remove the monster. Not really knowing where to start, I did a quick google search and contacted all the hits within a reasonable distance of home via email or their website contact form. Most of these never bothered to get back to me. Some did and either quoted randomly without asking any specifics, or would only come round during office hours to look at it, which was no good for me. And then there was Jane from Tree Wise Men, who got back to me and said Barry could pop round one evening to take a look it. Which he did, and gave by far the best quote, so we agreed he'd come round one Saturday morning to do the work. You'd think chopping down a 40-foot tree might be quite disruptive, but the first I knew they were even there was when I came down to make some tea and my patio doors were green with the piles of tree branches on the other side. They'd arrived, let themselves in the back gate, as agreed, and just got on with it while we all slept in. Within no time at all, the tree was down to a neat stump, and they'd removed all the branches and swept up after themselves. I was so impressed with them that my Dad used them for a job for him a couple of weeks later. All in all, Barry and co at the Tree Wise Men are one of the nicest service companies I've ever dealt with - friendly, efficient, and they did a great job. If you've got a monster tree that needs cutting down to size, I'd recommend them wholeheartedly.

Though the summer-long hosepipe ban which is already in force for the southeast of England may put a slight dampener (no pun intended!) on things Woodcote Green Nurseries are located a road along with a few other horticultural centres. However, they are the biggest and have a few more strings to their bow apart from the garden centre At this of year, I like to add some seasonal vegetables just for the year and perhaps plant a new fruit bush or tree which will yield a bountiful harvest over many years. Sometimes, some herb plants may need replacing after a harsh winter though it wasn't too bad a winter this time I also love to browse their aquarium area though I've discovered through experience that my doctoring skills sadly don't extend to my finned friends, so I now confine myself to looking at the fishes! They have a nice cafe with hot and cold food as well as cakes and drinks for a snack, hence catering for different types of meals. Edinburgh Woollen Mills have an area with clothing and there's a small book department too Like the start of a new football season, spring brings with it a season of hope and limitless opportunities in the garden!
