My friend Mavis looked out her window the other morning to find her unruly rose bushes had been expertly pruned. It turned out the phantom pruner was Margaret Liddell, who writes the gardening column for Urban Country. Margaret keeps an eye on a number of elderly people’s gardens, and when she sees they need some work, she appears unannounced and tidies them up secretly, like a gardening fairy.
This is truly a labour of love – love of gardens and love of people!
