Please take a minute to read this and just maybe you'll get it.... 💚🌍🙏
What happens when you call a gardener to do a 'good cut back'? I'll tell you.......
They rock up with their petrol or electric equipment and crack on, nice and quick and the jobs done, but at what cost?
No matter the time of year, I approach all my jobs with the expectation of disturbing wildlife from its comfortable home and this video is a perfect example.
Whilst cutting back a huge wisteria today (with my secateurs) I came across this little one, just terrified that I'm going to destroy it's home. I didn't!
My customers were incredibly understanding and supportive and agreed to leave the lump of wisteria around the nest until the chick has fledged.
If I'd have gone at the wisteria with power tools this chick would have had no chance and, instead of mum watching me work carefully around her baby, she could have watched her baby be brutally chopped up and killed.
Please take a minute to consider our wildlife and ask your gardener if they do!
Last week I turned down a £300 job just for this reason, no amount of money will allow me to commit this kind of murder on any living thing. The customer replied 'but I watch Springwatch and all the birds have finished nesting', afraid not. There's a reason there's a hedge cutting law in place that prevents hedge cutting from March to September.
