Gardener needed


Recommended Posts

Hi, can anyone recommend a reliable gardener? We have a plum tree that is in need of a prune and some high hedges that need cutting back. Wanting a gardener as a one off to come and tidy it up, and to have occasionally when we cant manage it, but i'm having difficulty finding someone. Does anyone have any recommendations?


Thanks

Charlotte

Hi Charlotte


Not sure if you will have already found someone but if not, I highly recommend TandT Gardening. They have various other recommendations on this forum too.


They are a father and son team, both called Tom. Together they can provide gardening and/or garden-related construction services. Tom (senior) has just put up an excellent new fence around my garden. He worked incredibly quickly, was very contactable, reliable and I am really pleased with the job. He was really happy to do a few extra things at the same time and even lent me a jigsaw so I could (attempt) to put in a cat flap the following weekend!


I'm now engaging Tom (junior) to overhaul the garden itself by putting in some new planting, training some climbers (around my nice new fence and trellis) and to put in a raised bed. Excited to see the finished result.


This is their website - http://www.tandtgardening.co.uk/default.html


Leah is their assistant and has always got back to me really quickly via email on [email protected]. You can also get Tom (Jr) on 07580 387 836 or Tom (Sr) on 07438 502290.


Hope this helps!

We highly recommend Matthew Walker of Upton & Walker Gardening, a small local business. Matthew planned and designed new beds and plants for us and then did all the ordering and planting - and it looks great; a beautiful garden, with really well chosen plants that work throughout the year, that has looked really well established in no time. He also does maintenance work and is a really nice person to deal with and have around. He can be contacted on 07875 401 815 or at [email protected]

Convened by The Hague Group and co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa, the Emergency Conference on Palestine brought together 30 states for two days of intensive deliberation — and emerged with a concrete, coordinated six-point plan to restrain Israel’s war machine and uphold international law. States took up the call from their host, Colombian President and Progressive International Council Member Gustavo Petro, who had urged them to be “protagonists together.” Twelve governments signed onto the measures immediately. The rest now have a deadline: 20 September 2025, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly. The unprecedented six measures commit states to:     Prevent military and dual use exports to Israel.     Refuse Israeli weapons transfers at their ports.     Prevent vessels carrying weapons to Israel under their national flags.     Review all public contracts to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation.     Pursue justice for international crimes.     Support universal jurisdiction to hold perpetrators accountable. “We came to Bogotá to make history — and we did,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro. “Together, we have begun the work of ending the era of impunity. These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable.” The measures are not symbolic. They are grounded in binding obligations under international law — including the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation unlawful, and September 2024’s UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/24, which gave states a 12-month deadline to act. UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese called them “a momentous step forward.” “The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Ronald Lamola. “The measures adopted in Bogotá show that we are serious — and that coordinated state action is possible.” The response from Washington was swift — and revealing. In a threatening statement to journalists, a US State Department spokesperson accused The Hague Group of “seeking to isolate Israel” and warned that the US would “aggressively defend our interests, our military, and our allies, including Israel, from such coordinated legal and diplomatic” actions. But instead of deterring action, the threats have only clarified the stakes. In Bogotá, states did not flinch. They acted — and they invite the world to join them. The deadline for further states to take up the measures is now two months away. And with it, the pressure is mounting for governments across the world — from Brazil to Ireland, Chile to Spain — to match words with action. As Albanese said, “the clock is now ticking for states — from Europe to the Arab world and beyond — to join them.” This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act. Share the Joint Statement from Bogotá and popularise the six measures. Write to your elected representative and your government and demand they sign on before 20 September. History was made in Bogotá. Now, it’s up to all of us to ensure it becomes reality, that Palestinian life is not disposable and international law is not optional. The era of impunity is coming to an end. Palestine is not alone. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat
