All systems go again, Myra and I spent the morning at Robert and Dawns garden.
Back in April we decided to help out as Dawn was desperate for a garden she could be proud of. They both lead a very busy lifestyle and would have had difficulty in creating the garden that they longed for.
Their garden was a blank canvas for us, a newly laid lawn and virtually nothing else. Four months later and it is looking great, and if it were not for the large play area for their young daughter, which does tend to dominate, I reckon that they could challenge us in the Aberdeen in bloom competition.
I will show you a before and after picture on the blog today, we are very well pleased with the result, as are the owners.
Weather is still continuing very good at the moment, I ought to set up a thermometer in the garden to record the daily temp. What am I like, starting to behave like a train spotter.

All I can say is that it has been amazing, I never believed that my garden could possibly be as good as this. I cannot thank Alistair and Myra enough. Robert, who has never really shown any interest in gardening is now also extremely involved, this week he spent a great deal of time installing a trickle water system for our flower baskets. Courtney, who has been on holiday for 4 weeks was also amazed at all the “pretty colours”.
Alistair and Myra are lovely people, their knowledge of gardening is quite astounding, and it is of no surprise, after visiting their home that they have won many competitions.
Our garden is a huge source of pleasure to all of us nowadays, (so much so we are neglecting our DIY). With all the lovely weather we have had recently I really am not that concerned about our usual holiday in the sun, I am quite content to stay in my lovely garden.
All thanks to Alistair and Myra
Five stars to you both
Love & Gratitude from
Dawn Robert and Courtney Dawn
Thank You For such kind comments, it has been a delight for Myra and myself helping out with your garden.
Wow! That is a magnificent transformation, you could most certainly give those reality makeover gardening shows a run for their money!
Can you please come down and do the same for our garden.

Thanks Audra, Mum says we will be down to see you all soon. Not sure if we will quite have the time to make it look like Robert and Dawns.
