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

On those occasions I've felt the need to speak out, there hasn't been a
gardener to speak to, which is frustrating.


About 20 years ago I was visiting the gardens in Chester with my
mother. She commented to a gardener that some plants were very nice.
He told her to help herself to one.

One of the things I often see when garden visiting, is cruelly biting
tree ties. With no-one to address, and no blade of my own, I am obliged
to walk away.


You get arrested for carrying a blade these days. I can see the
defence now, "I was out saving trees, your honour".
