Barks & Gardens

This page is no longer monitored but now remains as a quiet dedication to my beautiful Rainbow Bridge boy Finn who grew too tired to stay. 😔🌈❤️💛🩷💚❤️💜💙.
I'll see you around the bend my faithful loyal friend. 🐾🩵🌈.

Just a heads up I am now fully booked for Cat feeding over Easter. 🐾🐈🐈‍⬛

It's been a while so I hope you are all good and hopefully warmer,drier and sunnier days are on the way. 👌🏻🌞
I've been enjoying more free time since I closed the gardening side of my business down. I have however been keeping very busy making the most of my membership going to exercise classes and swimming most days at Castle Country Club and spending more precious downtime with my beautiful boy. I'm also enjoying being back at my part time housekeeping job at Rowton castle as I had a little breather from that too.
Just a reminder that whilst I am not taking on any additional dog walking clients, B&G Still offers the following services:

🐾Cat feeding
🐇small furry care
🐓chicken care
💦plant watering

With Easter fast approaching please contact me if you need any of the above if you are planning a break away.

Have a good weekend xx

Goodbye Daisy van - you did me proud old girl. 💕 🌸 I'll miss you but it's time for us to go in different directions at this next junction in life Xx 💕🌸

So a little heads up on B&G -
I have had to make the tough but necessary decision to close down the gardening side of my business.
Unfortunately my little van has come to the end of its working life so we have to part ways.
This was going to be my last season anyway as after 8 years I'm feeling the effects of running such a tough business both physically and mentally. Anyone in this trade will tell you how hard it is battling the elements and our ever changing weather system & seasons.
To have built what I have and survived the last 8 years makes me very proud but nothing stays the same. Even COVID didn't manage to undo the hard work and effort I put in, although it tried 😉😂.
I feel this is absolutely the right time to take a breather, press the reset button and have more time for me, my beautiful boy, family and friends. My van starting to fail has just given me the push I needed to close this chapter. Not sure what comes next but there's no rush that's for sure.
Life is short and throws curved balls at us on a regular basis so we just have to go with it and embrace change even if it's uncomfortable and emotional.
I will be continuing with my pet services so anyone currently on my books will remain so for the foreseeable. 🐾🐈🐈‍⬛🐕‍🦺🐩🐓🐇.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my clients past and present who supported my gardening business. I have learnt so much about myself and met so many wonderful, loyal and kind people along the way.
To those who supported me on a personal level when I needed it most - you know who you are and I love ya! Xx
To my boy Finn 🐾🩵- without whose unconditional love and lack of judgement when I come home looking like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards (literally) I couldn't have made it this far.

Lots of love and gratitude - me and him 🐾🩵💕

🩵🐾

With the gardening season well and truly done we approach a quieter less crazy time until next February/March and boy do we need it.
Obviously dogs still need walking and cats still need feeding so we don't stop completely 😹🐾🩵🐶🐩.
So from me and him to you and yours - thank you for keeping Barks and Gardens very busy through 2025 and have a wonderful Christmas and happy, healthy 2026.

Lesley and Finn (The Prince) 🩵🐾👑🌲🎅🏻⛄🍾
