Can any Landscape Juice member help?

I have received a letter from Teresa who has a friend afflicted by Multiple Sclerosis and she would dearly love to help her improve the quality of her life. Fiona Lives in Shoeburyness, Essex. If there are any members who are able to help out I would pass your details on to Teresa who has promised that whoever helps, will involve the local newspaper. I of course would support any member with the publicity in any way I can. Dear Philip Following our conversation earlier in the week, I have now attached some photographs of Fiona's garden. 13ft 4 inches wide and 38ft length. I used to work with Fiona 6 years ago when she became very ill and was diagnosed with MS after many tests were carried out. This seemed to come on very quickly which resulted in her going from leg callipers and crutches into a wheelchair. Last year she was diagnosed with Systempic Lupus which attack's the immune system and at present she is pretty much bed bound apart from being able to get out of bed into her wheelchair and sit on her back step at the top of her disabled slope. As the pictures show, there is a coal bunker at the bottom of the slope and the earth to the side stops her from going down the slope and into her small garden. If only the coal bunker could be removed and the garden decked or concreted, she would be able to get out in the fresh air which would be so wonderful for her. Fiona is only 48yrs old her quality of life is non-existent which is causing her to become extremely depressed and I feel she needs something to motivate her, having a makeover on her garden and being able to get outside at least maybe plant some pots etc would I'm sure give her a new lease of life, her last little garden was wheelchair friendly which encouraged her to be out there keeping busy. Unfortunately she had to move from there as the access getting into and out of the flat was up and down many steps. Well, hopefully this gives you an insight into what I am trying to achieve for my poorly friend. Kind regards Teresa Harrington

"I have a 6ft pair of Niwakis, wish i’d had them years before I did. I initially got the 8fts and immediately realised they would be a pain for the majority of hedges I used to cut. I think they are brilliant just make sure they are seated properly.…"
