RE: Flowers and a phone

It was a great place to visit and she's done an amazing job over the years. There's many thousands of bulbs planted and other things besides, I can only imagine the work it would take.

I am thinking that why she is not hiring some gardeners for taking care of the garden..?

It's a private house and not open to the public generally so there's no revenue to pay anyone; it's not a business.

I am currently living in my village where there is greenery everywhere and no specific need of such gardens.

I think there can never be enough gardens.

Sort:  

Yes it is clear that much hardwork is needed for maintaining this kind of garden.

Oh okie, this big garden is a private one. And i was thinking that she might be charging tickets. Beleive me if this kind of garden was here in my country side, the owner might have made millions from it till now.

Yup. A village itself is a garden.

was thinking that she might be charging tickets

She was, $10/person, but she's open only one weekend a year as I said in this post...so, even if she had 200 people there (which she did not) it's only $2,000 which doesn't go far here, it's not even a single month's loan repayment on the average house loan and it would cost her far more than that to run this garden.

Oh okie.
Mmm last question..

Will this garden turn into a barren land now?:(

There's a house on the land, where the lady lives. She'll eventually pass on and ownership will go to whomever she has willed it to in her estate. I don't think whomever owns it will keep up with the garden, (otherwise they would be doing it already), so it will not get tended and fall to ruin. The flowers will keep coming up, maybe for many years, but it'll probably cease being a tended garden.

Maybe the house will get sold on to someone else, (It would be a nice place to live), and the new owner will maintain the garden however considering the fairly remote location it's probably doubtful. Time will tell.

Oh okie. Finally i understand everything.

Thanks for your responses.
