Hi, I have been onto the site to find out how to be considered for a garden makeover, but can't seem to find anything.
I would really like to nominate my mum to have a garden makeover. She is 56 and in her second year at university studying to be a nurse. She has been a single parent for fourteen-years and has had to work relentlessly ever since. With university and working so hard she doesn't have much time. And any time she does get, she spends it doing something for other people. She has always put other people before herself - she would do anything for anyone.
My brother, her son, has moderate learning difficulties and due to this has not been able to find work. However, he does have an interest in gardening and has tried to add some inspiration to her garden. Unfortunately, with little guidance and little money, his attempts have failed somewhat.
Furthermore, three months ago she lost her nearest and dearest sister to cancer. A low maintenance garden to take her mind from her loss or to give her a sanctuary to reminisce her fond memories would be the best thing I could give to a woman who is undoubtedly the most caring and incredible person I know.
