Make it VERY CLEAR to the sidineg crew that the plants ARE NOT TO
BE HARMED. Talk with the contractor and tell him you have photos
of the gardens before, and that the "after" pictures better show
the same plants with no damage.




Great advice. I had a similar experince--smaller scale. Ask the workmen to
look DOWN as they walk the earth, and please, don't throw cigarette butts
broadside.
