Get your London garden ship-shape for summer with Fantastic Services

Gardening Flower Box‘I love my new garden. My garden is super duper precious.’

On Friday I was a bit worried about how to get through my to-do list. I had promised Big Girl to make homemade ice cream, we had eight people coming for dinner, and I had two kids to look after.

But it turned out to be no trouble whatsoever. In the late afternoon, we had a team of professional gardeners from Fantastic Gardeners from Fantastic Services coming to get our garden ready for summer, a service we’d received to review, and it was not only uplifting to see the transformation but also great fun for Big Girl, who wanted to be a helper and was running around with a watering can or sitting in the window watching from start to finish instead of needing me for entertainment.

The friendly team removed weeds, planted new plants in our flower bed and in Big Girl’s flower boxes, cleaned the artificial grass and helped guide Big Girl to where she could do some watering. She was thrilled and when she woke up on Saturday she said she ‘really really wanted the gardeners to come again’.

GardeningIf we had attempted to do the same work ourselves, we would have first have had to invest in a range of new gardening tools, and then dedicated a full weekend to do the job. In other words, we would have had to enlist the help of grandparents if we were to have managed to get it done before autumn, as we never seem to have time to tick off these things on our to-do lists.

Last year, Grandpa P did the planting in April, but I had then bought new plants without considering the fact that some plants don’t actually grow in shade, so they didn’t survive very long at all. This time, I contacted Fantastic Services before the gardening appointment instead, and the gardening team recommended different plants that would work in our flower bed.

We are now the lucky owners of four new rhododendron plants safely planted in the shade, and a clean and tidy garden. All set for Baby Boy to start walking and for Big Girl to have picnics with her little friends and the dolls on the grass!
