If you visit places with gardens as we do occasionally, and did this

and you see some strange even plain wrong planting do you chat to the
gardeners about it?
By wrong I mean ferns in full sun and potentially huge trees, Robinia
pseudoacacia, planted almost next to the building.


That's a difficult one. If the gardeners were around and looked
friendly, I
might say "is there a reason why you did that..?" and see what they say.
Then go from there.
It's kind of like accusing someone of being a bad parent, very delicate
to
approach.

Just remember that plants don't read the books that we do.


Very true David but I cannot think of a fern that actually likes to be in
full sun or will live in those conditions, then there are the trees, large
trees that grow to 100ft and more planted a few metres from a house that
has had millions spent on it's restoration has to be madness in my book.
