Have you ever visited friends and been amazed by how good their homes and gardens look? For many years, this was all I did. However, all of that changed when I decided to teach myself the secrets of developing a home and a garden so it looks great and requires minimum maintenance. I started by contacting my friend Dave who works in the home and garden centre near my home. Dave invited me down and gave me some fantastic tips. I followed his advice and after a few months of work, I had the home and garden of my dreams.
