Beverley Park Rose Garden theft
Beware everyone if you see some cheap rose bunches for sale anywhere I just saw two white men (one with a matching blue tracksuit) cutting and bagging up every single rose in the Beverley Park Rose garden and hopping on some electric bikes and taking off.
A damn shame everyone isn’t able to enjoy the roses now and a few selfish people have taken it upon themselves to ruin it for everyone.
Do not buy any cheap roses you see for sale, they are stolen.
To those men, I hope your wives and mothers know their Mother’s Day roses are stolen. Shame on you for ruining it for the rest of us.
Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Garden Tidy
Some more before and after photos of the property we worked on a couple of weeks ago, where the client needed an urgent tidy-up to get their property on the market. The goal with this one wasn't a picture-perfect garden, it was to get it in 'tidy-enough' shape to be shown at open home. The transformation is amazing - imagine what we could do if we had more time!!
