Proud of the garden I created from nothing 6-8yrs ago. Been 100% neglected (no watering, pruning etc) for 3+ yrs. If you plant drought tolerant, location suited flora, you don’t need large amounts of work once established. All desperately need a prune/tidy up… soon hopefully💜😊

400 employees laid off at EA, while the CEO took home $25.6 million in pay last year. This isn't an issue of money. It's one of power and unaccountable CEOs. With a strong union in your workplace, we can change this. Work in the UK games industry? Join our union today: iwgb.org.uk/en/join/game...
