  • Being a gardener can be a tough and dirty job that isn’t suited to everyone who dreams about being a gardener.
    This job today isn't pretty or nice to do but these jobs need doing.
    Its been roughly 2 years since we cleared this garden, I hope you enjoy this one as much as the gnomes did.
