"I have recently discovered that Valerie, founder of 'Auntie Planty', offers a 'Garden MOT' gift voucher service. What a genius idea! I bought one for some friends... and they are thrilled to think an expert will come around to look at THEIR garden, and be given specific advice just for them in their own home!"
