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.


I've never had that happen! How lovely for your mum:~)


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".

With a "Ten other trees to be taken into consideration" plea ;~)
