Dear Peter
Roger and I want to let you know how pleased we are with our new garden. You have done an excellent job of guiding novice garden creators through the design process, and successfully planned and executed the planting. Thank you too for introducing us to Paul Spittles and his team who have done a thorough, high quality piece of work adapting the original plan to our changed requirements. We would like to thank you for a job well done and we look forward to enjoying the fruits (and flowers) of your work for a long time to come. With warm regards,
Roger and Anne
