This is my first house after living with my parent's, and it's far too much for me with a 9 month old baby things are getting out of control. Iv tryed my hardest to tidy things up and make a start but no matter where I start it doesn't make a difference. My partner works so doing it on my own is very difficult juggling it around my daughters needs. It's getting me really down and depressed at the fact that we can't have a nice garden, it woudl be nice to be able to let my daughter out there but the state it's in I can't do so. Please can you help. 1

We spent weeks clearing it and now are at a standstill as my partner works all the hours an I'm full time mummy on maternity at the moment . I do potter about with it when I can but I simply don't have the time that I need to get stuck in ! The garden has been put into sections with railway sleepers however it Is just too big for my imagination and scares me how much it will all cost :( please help!!!

These little balls turn into a plated cone, like a pine tree and sends seeds into the air for sprouting new trees. They are not edible. Hope that helps.. • Reply • Share ›

We would love your help with our large garden. We are both retired and unable to manage the garden, its pretty much a blank canvas and we would love to be able to sit out when the weather is nice and enjoy it. Any help you could give us would be a massive help. 1

We so much need your help ,the person i wish to nominate is blind and recently had her legs removed ,even though she has the use of a wheelchair but she is trapped in room as the chair has not enough access to get out her out to the garden ,her quality of life is pretty poor ,but she enjoys the smell of cut flowers but alas they do not last long and she would prefer to smell flowers growing ,flat areas where she can be pushed in her wheelchair and shaded area because she has kidney failure and dehydrates very quickly in the sun,plants raised on a higher level would help as she can still feel with her hands but,, nothing sharp or prickly ,,,i know this is rather a tricky one dealing with so many disabilities ,but we are at a wits end ! her care workers push her outside her front door and leave there at her own request ,being a town house it does bring about a few odd looks ,Hope you can help . 9

Hi I'm a mum of 4 year old twins who were born extremely perm at 24 weeks, after a very long 6 months in hospital they came home. But as a results of this they both have cerebral palsy along with other medical conditions, one of my girls can walk but is very unsteady the other cannot walk without the aid if a fully supportive walker. It is extremely difficult for us to go out to the park like other children, but our garden is so uneven and not safe or suitable for out girls. We spent all our savings on making the house suitable for them that we now can't afford to do the garden. Please please will you help us ? Or do you know someone who might ? Kind regards Angeline 5

My once beautiful garden is now an overgrown jungle - I haven't been able to cope with it since my husband left last year and all but the youngest of my kids has moved away as I'm disabled and it spans best part of half an acre. Can't afford to get someone in to sort it out or get our ride-on mower repaired as I'm now living on a tiny pension and benefits. Would really appreciate some help • Reply • Share ›

just found this page and see I missed the deadline, wondered if you would reconsider. My new hubby moved into my family home with my late husband and with my boys and we did a huge extension on the house. Sadly the first set of builders took us on a scam for 50k and it cost us alot more to put it all right and our marriage. We are now in reconciliation after all the stress of money etc..it really upsets my Husband to see the garden the way it has been left cause it was my late husbands passion and love and we used to spend every weekend in the garden before he died. I would love you to come and look and put it right as I have only just gone out into the garden after 9yrs as it was too emotional for me, I wont lie its a big job but would love to get this one thing done for my new Husband to help heel things about the building work he had done.

Desperate for a garden makeover. Its at a dementia care centre. They have just had cowboys in, spent £5,500 and all they got was some pressed down sand and clay for a patio and path. Its dangerous for the residents and so sad after all the fund raising weve done. My husband goes there and I am concerned about his saftey. If you know anyone who is doing makeovers..... please contact me. • Reply • Share ›

My Name is Doreen Ann, From Canada I wish to share my testimonies with the general public about what this man called GREAT MUTABA has just done for me , this man has just brought back my lost Ex husband to me with his great spell within 24 hours. I was married to my husband Bill Ferio, we were together for a long time and we loved our self’s but when I was unable to give him a child for 2 years he left me and told me he can’t continue anymore then I was looking for ways to get him back until a friend of mine told me about this man and gave his contact email
[email protected] then you won’t believe this when I contacted this man on my problems he cast a very strong spell for me and bring my lost husband back within 24hrs, and after a month I miss my monthly period and went for a test and the result showed that i was pregnant. i am happy today am a mother of a baby Boy,thank you once again the GREAT MUTABA for what you have done for me.Contact him on his private email
[email protected] if you are out there passing through any of this problems or predicaments in your life..... • Reply • Share ›

We moved into our house just over a year ago we are trying to make it our home but we though if the garden is sorted out everything might follow. We are in a housing association house so.I am not sure what can be done. We would a nature garden where we can sit and listen to the sound of nsture and perhapsna small kitchen garden on the form of a growing wall. My mother is on her own a lot of the time as my brother works in the Barbour factory and I do voluntary work in our local nursery. We have a cat so if their could be some sort of cat play aria somewhere too thanks 12

Hi - My friend and work colleague is undergoing treatment for breast cancer. She has had a mastectomy and reduction as she had rather large boobies! She has a reasonable size garden that her dad loved and cherished but is now unable to maintain. She is so disappointed that she is not able to keep it as she wants. She would love someone to help and advise her what to do with it to make it easy on the eye, a place to enjoy and look after. Many thanks Carolyn

Would love some help with out garden - we moved into our home 4 years ago and the house has taken priority. We'e cleared the jungle of brambles, weed trees and overgrown shrubs but it ti such an awkward shape on many different undefined levels that we cannot get any idea of how to develop it into both a producing and a restful area. We have about £1000 to spend - any ideas please?

My father is 87 and loves his garden but is unable to do much, I organise grass cutting and scrubs but a lovely garden would make a massive difference to him as his house is back to front and living room is at the back so would be great for him to see a lovely garden once again...I've tried but as I'm not there full time I'm not able to look after the garden.
