My land is 1/4 acre with a huge house, barn and driveway taking up 1/2? of it. But, there is a church across the street whose volunteer gardener went to heaven 3 years ago. New volunteers are clueless. Someone even removed all the iris rhizomes after they bloomed. I don't know what they did with them. Then, someone started transplanting hosta. The poor plants sat in a pile under a shrub for a month. I saw them on my way to the post office, day after day. Finally, I got my shovel and water, and planted the poor things in some bare spots. People who were late for Saturday evening service smiled and thanked me, saying how lovely the garden is - as if I were the gardener.

I can't go to church as I get really sick from fragrances. Maybe I will become the church gardener instead. If I run out of space, I can put my spillover plants there. Smiling
Don't make fear based decisions.
