Gardener required for clearing/weeding (and advice!)


Mrs_B

Recommended Posts

Good afternoon,


We're looking for someone to come and do some work on an area of our front garden that has been taken over by BAMBOO and various weeds. It's a great sun trap, and - once cleared - we'd welcome some advice on the garden as a whole, if the soil type/depth is good enough to "work with", etc.


We're in SE22. Happy to send photos via PM. Thanks

Hi there


We are looking for someone who would be interested in helping us to get our garden into good shape and keep it that way! It is a small (50 foot) garden with a 1x3 meter bed, bit of lawn (which we can mow) some not very successful roses and lots of pots. We have had gardeners come and give it a makeover intermittently but have never achieved the regularity of gardening that means that it looks nice year round - this is what we are aiming for. So if you could offer us some regular help - (maybe a half day per month but would be open to discussion) - and are interested in helping us then please do get in touch. We would like a gardener that tells us what they think needs doing and then comes at the right time to do it - neither of us are good with plants!


No massive rush as we have a busy couple of weeks coming up but do get in touch and maybe we could arrange a meet up early/mid-May. We would like references please.


We look forward to hearing from you.


Thanks, Chloe

    • Driving down Lordship lane around 2.45pm today saw a v sick looking fox walking in and out of the crowd. 
    • I know I'm a bit premature but don't want to forget through too much Chrisntas cheer! Southwark Council Christmas trees recycling arrangements 2025 - bit worrying for the future that they're emphasising the free bit. "We’ll collect and recycle your real Christmas tree for free!  Trees should not be taller than 5ft. You should chop any taller trees into smaller pieces. Remove all decorations and the pot or stand and recycle it by: putting your tree with your garden waste containers on collection day requesting a free collection if you do not have a garden waste collection  taking it to our Reuse and Recycling Centre [43 Devon Street, SE15 1AL open 08:30-16:30 Mon-Sun] If you live in a flat you must leave the tree: outside on the kerb visible for the collection crew not in a bin store" I'll add the link to the collection booking service when it opens on 22 December. 
    • Most homes in East Dulwich / Good Green ward have collections on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. So no changes for them this year.  But for those few local homes with collections normally on Thursdays or Friday, with Christmas, Boxing day happening on Thursday and Friday any blue, brown or green bin collections will be delayed by two days. So Thursday 25 December collections will be on Saturday 27 December and Friday 26 December collections on Sunday 28 December. For New Years day those Thursday collections will be on the Friday 2 January and those with normal collections of Fridays that will be on Saturday 3 January. To double check when your Southwark Council rubbish, recycling, food waste, garden waste collections will be taking place please please check here - https://services.southwark.gov.uk/bins/lookup
    • Luckily I don't really any regular reason to park at Dawson Heights.  It must be very difficult for the residents I do feel for them.  Thank you for them.  I just presumed that Southwark owned the estate and would be responsible for parking enforcement there.
