Thank you to my existing and new clients who have made sure I am working on their rose pruning before the Spring at a cracking pace. Here is some of the zygo collection before finishing flowering for the year. Enjoy!

Showing off a second time around. I purchased this cyclamen last year and have kept it safe from wallabies by placing it up high and within my patio area. 2 weeks ago, I have shifted it back inside due to cold weather and its second flush of flowers. Aint she a beauty!

Hi to all the readers and thank you for following along at your leisure. I am thrilled to announce that next week I am receiving my Undergraduate Certificate in Hobart from UTAS. All the hard work from my study efforts has paid off.
Thank you to my family that are attending this special occasion and to my friends and colleagues who have shown interest in the event details.
I have finally decided on what to wear and I also want to Thank my dog Boris - (deceased) for putting up with the endless hours of me studying and you being by my side. I am wearing some very special jewelry that will keep us together in your honor. Also, Glenda Maher thank you for the necklace you once gifted me, I think that will go along for part of the day. Details below, UTAS are live streaming the event if you wish to check it out.

It has been a while since my last post, and I wish to update my readers. I have scaled back my gardening business to operating off site for 1 - 2 times a week only. This has been in place since July 2024. I have no vacancies until next year (2025). The reason this change has occurred is due to there not being enough local demand for garden services. I am now working as a lifeguard at Swirl in Smithton to fulfill my job seeking hourly requirements also. I wish to thank my amazing clients for their wonderful work opportunity to me and my business. God bless Swirl also and the amazing team and opportunities.

Hi to all the readers. Thanks for being around. I am writing to you today as I am having a lot of alerts going off in regard to my business lately.
I would like my readers to know I am receiving a lot of heated exchange at times about how I operate my business which is legal/ lawful especially in regard to operating outside of business hours.
I am owner / manager of the business which operates by appointment only over Monday to Friday for my garden clients and business needs. I do not employ people as I am only insured for business purposes, so take care to do the right thing as alerts have been going out in regard to legal and policing issues.
Night shift is not welcome here as I am also involved in external work also over 7 business days. I hope this brings you clarity and I appreciate your help in regard to this matter. You are welcome to pass the information on to the general public to help spread the word. I look forward to helping those who generally need my garden services and bless the path from my clients. Kind regards Karen Casey
