  • This garden was so overgrown I had to view it from over the neighbour's fence. i was contacted by the people next door asking if I could help this elderly gentleman. he once loved his garden but has not been able to look after it for years. he is still just able enough to be able to go outside but the garden was completely inaccessible and you couldn't even get out the back door. so my job was to clear it enough for him to be able to go outside and nit be stuck indoors all the time. hope you enjoy. huge shoutout to the guys next door. And to the carers who do an amazing job, and all carers everywhere for what thy do. peace.

    What a WONDERFUL JOB you have done for this gentleman!! I was a care giver for 20+ years and know what some of these elderly people went through as to being unable to do simple things anymore. On my days off my husband and I would go to their homes and mow lawns, fix simple things around their home for free. They would thank us endlessly. So keep up your GREAT WORK at helping these elderly people, I know they appreciate it. We are now in our 70's and Praise God we can still do our own lawn and things around our home. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! God Bless You ! Love From The USA♥

    As an old gardener I can appreciate you clearing space. The owner will remember this the rest of his life. He will be able to sit in his garden or look out his window and watch his plants grow, the bees and the birds visit, and remember when he planted each plant. Thanks for the great work.

      The variety of plants in that garden is astounding and would have been beautiful in its prime. Sad to see, but a necessary one. On the upside, animals will have carried the seeds to other areas around the place, so all isn't lost. Great job clearing the place though, at least they will be able to enjoy it again and stuff will grow back for sure. That soil will be so fertile and rich from all the effort that went into getting the garden he wanted.

    I appreciate your kindness. The neighbors who called you will reap the rewards of not having to look at this overgrown property. Here's hoping the elder who lives there can and will be able to go outside in the warm months ahead. What a shame it would have been for him to live his last days unable to get outside. It is incredible how you, one man, transformed this property. May the powers that be look down on you and bless you for this good deed.

    I love to watch the restoration of antique furniture and the care taken to preserve the original character of the furniture.
    You have done yourself proud by restoring this garden to its original glory.
    You can clearly see that when the owners were young and able a lot of love and work was put into it.
    It brings a tear to my eye when I remember the love and attention that my late father in law put into his garden and house. An age gone by.
    It makes me emotional and brings to mind the song "Yesterday " written by Paul McCartney of the Beatles.
    I hope the elderly gentleman gets to sit once more in his garden to enjoy a bit of fresh air and natural beauty around him.
    Thank you for making that possibility a reality.

    You need to get a long handled shovel. It will help save your back.

    Wow, that was a lot of work, thank you for helping this elderly man. I have never seen so much sidewalk in a back yard. I bet it was lovely in his younger years. God bless you.
