Perennial - The Royal Gardeners' Benevolent Fund

It certainly is a difficult period for business and there is no reason to think that a gardener or a landscaper is isolated from financial or personal worries or problems and indeed we are certainly not immune from illness. I for one think that there is no better a work environment that the outdoors, whether that is a garden, out in the woodland or in a great big open space. Working alone is great when life is rosy but as soon as a problem sets it then that insulation can become a burden and contribute to your anxiety or depression thus leading to further problems. Perennial - The Royal Gardeners' Benevolent Fund - is a charity that was set up in 1839 to help gardeners who experience problems. Further reading: Gardeners' Royal Benevolent Fund.

  • I contact perennial few month ago and asked for their help.
    they agreed to help and fixed time to come but never did. I am not bitter or think that there are no good.I just find it hard to ask for help few times.

    I guess feeling down comes more in the winter -It did for me .It's important to find the balance If you work on your own go out with friends after-I know it's not always easy to do but very important-I think.

    I hope you are in a warmer part,I was working on my website and looking for some part time jobs today.It was great to see some blue sky.
    take care there

"Agree with you Graham, we have a client with a long run of Laurel which we only cut once a year mid june and have done for over 20 years, the client is fussy with a capital F ! It's a superb evergreen hedge which is bomb proof.
As to this so called…"

"Disagree there!  I maintain a site with a couple of of large laurel hedges and one cut in July suffices and keeps it looking nice.  Agree.... looks nasty immediately after cutting but quickly perks up so you don't notice the cut leaves.  Pretty much…"

"That's pretty much my thinking, but I am seeing them more and more. Mostly at expensive new builds. Mostly people with very limited gardening experience wanting an immediate finished product. "

"Yes 5' actual instant shaped hedging is very expensive, but if that's what he wants he'll have to pay for it.  A good compromise is use individual plants- you could use 1.5m, but 1.8 or 2m plants would probably be bushier, and by trimming to height…"

"Agree, nothing worse than driving past a new Cherry Laurel hedge planted too close to boundaries or buildings, and thinking they'll regret that decision in a few years time!
If a client really wants Laurel, i atleast try to push them towards the…"
