Looking for a contract gardener, by the name of Kyle

Linda from Northcote

Just posting this on the off chance that someone knows this gardener? He is contracted by my landlord to do the gardens, came last week (big catch up after lockdown) and left two large bags full of garden rubbish on my front lawn.

He is contracted by my landlord to do the gardens, came last week (big catch up after lockdown) and left two large bags full of garden rubbish on my front lawn. I thought perhaps he would be back for them next day, but nothing since last week when he was here. If anyone knows of this guy (sorry, no surname or business name!), can you send me some info on his business name, or let him know to contact me? Many thanks!

Would you dare?

Trupti Biradar Reporter from Stuff Travel
