Misc Garden Task

A well-run garden involves more than just horticulture tasks, a whole ecosystem of non-gardening tasks—things that aren't about plants or soil are essential for the space to function, stay safe, and feel enjoyable.

♦ Checking for trip hazards (loose slabs, exposed roots, broken steps) ♦ Ensuring handrails and steps are secure ♦ Clearing fire exits or access paths ♦ Removing sharp objects or hazardous waste
