I have a 'fibrecast' perspective arch mirror in my own garden which makes a great feature giving the illusion of a garden continuing beyond the brick wall it's mounted on. Very pleased with it. The mirror is slightly convex…"

Hi I would really appreciate the wise words of some of you guys about moving from garden maintenance over weekends to making it a full time job.How did you make the step or what advice could you give for expanding and switching from a different full time job to this one which I really want to do?I also wonder what, if any, qualifications you think I'd need?

Jigsawgardens.co.uk posted a blog postWinter gardening
THE HEAVY snow and frosts that have deluged the county recently have meant the garden spade has chiefly been picked out of the shed to clear pathways and drives, writes James Iles. However there are many things you can be doing to protect your garden in the current cold snap.
